Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 239 Chapter 238
The group of people standing guard at the security office at the gate turned a blind eye to Li Pingan taking the food from the factory home, and didn't even stop him, and let the passers-by go.

The main reason is that Li Pingan was not the only one who did this tonight, but all the cadres who came out of the factory at this point were carrying lunch boxes in net bags, and there was no way to stop them if they wanted to, so they could only pretend not to see them.

When Li Pingan returned to the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and the others had already had dinner and were chatting in the room. Seeing that Li Pingan brought back so many things, the first mother was very surprised, and quickly asked, "Ping An, what are you doing today?" What's the matter? How did you pack so many meals back?"

"Today's working meals in the factory, I think they are bringing home, and I will also pack some to bring back." Having said this, Li Pingan paused, and then said again: "That's what I think, we don't have these things at home. No, don’t we have three needy households in our hospital? Divide these meals into three portions, and send one portion to each family. It’s exactly thirty nights, and we can add an extra meal.”

The three people in the house were very supportive of Li Pingan's idea. The first mother took the meal from Li Pingan, found three rice bowls, and divided them into three equal shares, preparing to send them to the three needy households in the courtyard.

"Auntie, you go with uncle. Although the factory does not care about these foods, they are brought back from the factory after all. It is not appropriate for me to deliver them."

Some things can be done but cannot be said. Strictly speaking, this kind of behavior is the same as the stupid column, which is the theft of state materials.Moreover, Li Pingan and Shazhu have different identities. Shazhu is an ordinary worker in the cafeteria, while Li Pingan is a state cadre with a establishment. up.

The matter of helping needy households sounds very noble, and people will praise you when they hear about it, and think that you are a good person.

However, stealing state supplies to help needy households in the hospital is debatable. When others hear about it, they don't know what to think.

Although today's food is a default benefit given by the factory, even if it is reported to the rolling mill, the factory will not take care of it, but we still have to be cautious and try not to cause trouble for ourselves and the factory.

Therefore, it is better for Li Pingan not to come forward in this kind of matter. As long as Li Pingan does not come forward, no one can say that the materials were brought back from the factory, which is good for everyone.

"Ping An, you did a good job on this matter. You don't need to come forward. I will go with your aunt. I will not tell the origin of this meal, and I will never let it go." Yi Zhonghai was able to understand Li Pingan's thoughts , nodded to Li Pingan with a look of relief, and walked out with the big mother carrying the rice bowl used to help the neighbors.

Li Pingan is very satisfied that his cheap uncle can understand his meaning so quickly. This is the benefit of getting along with smart people. They can understand the meaning and heart of your words without too much explanation. concerns, to help you do things beautifully.

Whether Li Pingan delivered this meal or Yi Zhonghai delivered it, to Li Pingan, there was no difference at all.In the eyes of the people in the courtyard, Li Pingan and Yi Zhonghai are a family, and this favor will eventually fall on Li Pingan.

On the second day of work, as soon as Li Pingan entered the rolling mill, he was re-requisitioned by Chen Youfu before he even got to the office. The busy work of running around was a problem with the distribution of new year's goods in the rolling mill this year.

I worked without touching the ground until the afternoon, and delivered the last batch of New Year's goods to the workshop. Today's work has come to an end. I just need to wait for the New Year's gift on my face before I get off work, and return home after work. The home is ready for the New Year.

Back at the office, leading the four subordinates who came back from vacation, a group of five went to the cafeteria hall to receive this year's new year supplies.

The person who distributed the New Year's goods was Lu Yongjun, a section chief in the cafeteria, not a formal establishment, similar to Cui Dake's situation.After seeing Li Pingan coming to collect the supplies, he greeted him enthusiastically: "Deputy Section Chief Li, why are you here in person? Regarding the collection of the New Year's goods, you can ask someone to say hello to me, and I will send it to you in person. That's it!" And let you take a trip yourself”

"Chief Lu, you are too polite. I have nothing to do in the office, and I don't have many things, so I came here to collect them myself. You are busy with your work. I will just line up at the back. Don't delay the work of collecting the New Year's goods for comrades." Li Pingan waved his hand and led the four soldiers to the back of the line.

Lu Yongjun wanted to persuade him again, but seeing that Li Pingan had already stood at the back, he was obviously unwilling to accept his kindness, so he could only go back to the front to supervise the distribution of annual gifts.

The workers who received the supplies were all beaming. Although everyone envied the work in the steel rolling mill, the conditions of the workers were not so good. Those with small families or dual-career families were fine, and they could eat pork and white noodles several times a month. , but for a family that relies on one salary to support, even if the wages of the workers are not low, the life is also very ordinary. It can only be said that they have enough food and clothing, and they cannot eat meat twice a month.

This year, the factory gave away a catty of pork, which is a great help. There are pork and white noodles in the New Year gift. On the [-]th day of the next year, the family can have a delicious meal of dumplings.

They lined up to receive this year's annual gifts at the rolling mill. Like ordinary workers, they received one catty of pork and three catties of white flour. There was no special treatment because of their status as cadres, and everyone was equal.

After the materials are distributed, it basically means that this year's work is over. The factory also understands that everyone has no intention of working. The annual meeting has already been held. After the factory leaders held a meeting, the workers can go back directly after receiving the materials. Wait until the end bell rings before leaving get off work.

After the announcement was broadcast on the radio station, the factory exploded instantly. The workers praised the factory leaders while cleaning up the New Year ceremony. After cleaning up, the workers left the rolling mill in groups of three or four.

Saying goodbye to the four soldiers under him, Li Pingan rode a bicycle to pick up Ding Qiunan from get off work, not because he didn’t want to drive a jeep back. After all, the jeep belongs to the factory’s assets and is not owned by him. It’s okay to drive normally, no one says anything about you , if it is driven home during the Chinese New Year, it will be too high-profile. If it is stabbed by that person who doesn't like it, Li Pingan will wait to be cleaned up.

After receiving Ding Qiunan, he put the New Year ceremony of the two on the handlebars and took Ding Qiunan to the courtyard.

"Ping'an, Qiunan, you came back just in time, pack up quickly, let's go out to eat boiled lamb tonight." When Li Pingan took Ding Qiunan home, Yi Zhonghai had already arrived early, and after tidying up with the first mother, he sat in the room Waiting for Li Pingan's young couple to come back.

Li Pingan put the two people's annual gifts into the house, and when he heard Yi Zhonghai say this, Li Pingan said with a smile: "Uncle, today is not yet thirty, why don't we eat boiled mutton?"

"Isn't the customs payment paid in advance? I think our family hasn't gone out to eat out for a long time. Taking this opportunity, let's go eat hot-boiled mutton," Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

Considering that people don't have any savings at home now, and they may not be able to get out the money for the New Year, the rolling mill paid the workers this month's salary in advance in order to let the workers have a good year.

The advantage of this is that the workers will not have no money for the New Year. Of course, there are also disadvantages. Some families spend money according to their daily needs, and they will suffer famine every month, such as the Jia family across the street.

After receiving the salary in advance and spending the money during the Chinese New Year, after the Chinese New Year, their family will have a hard time for a while.

Now Qin Huairu is just sitting at home and worrying. In the past, there was a meal from Shazhu, and the rest of the meal money can be saved by himself, and he can borrow some money from Shazhu every month.

Ever since she broke up with Sha Zhu, now Qin Huairu calculates her own salary every day, and saves everything she can.This year's Chinese New Year, I didn't make new clothes for Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua, because Bang Geng and Jia Zhang were squatting on the fence, and the New Year's Eve dinner was very busy, and I didn't prepare anything for the New Year. Qin Huairu planned Use the New Year gift from the factory to fool around.

In fact, with Qin Huairu's salary, their family can live on, and they won't be as tight as they are now.But who made Qin Huairu want to save money and save it, so that he can marry a wife for the stick in the future?

In the past, when there was a silly pillar to help, the Jia family lived a good life. The children were well-nourished, and they didn't have to worry about food and clothing. They could save ten yuan a month.

Now that there is no money and food from Shazhu, Qin Huairu still saves ten yuan a month and saves it for the future. Her salary is only 27.5 yuan a month. It is hard to imagine how difficult it is to save ten yuan. Can try to save from the usual expenses at home.

In this way, the two little girls in the family can only suffer.

Because of the money, Qin Huairu's head was getting dizzy, and when he was thinking about who he could get some money from, suddenly what Xu Damao said in the small warehouse last time appeared in his mind.

Qin Huairu's complexion became inexplicably gray, she put her hands on the table, and unconsciously tapped the table with her fingertips, not knowing what was going on in her mind.

"Ping An, get up early tomorrow. Our house will be cleaned tomorrow, and the Spring Festival couplets will be pasted up tomorrow. Remember, don't delay." , Yi Zhonghai asked.

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai told him not to stay in bed, Li Pingan blushed and felt a little embarrassed.

In the entire courtyard, Li Pingan was the only one who could sleep late, even worse than the children in the courtyard. If no one called him, he could sleep until ninety o'clock before waking up.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely get up tomorrow, and I won't delay things." Li Pingan didn't care about Ding Qiunan's contemptuous eyes at all, and assured Yi Zhonghai with a firm tone, patting his chest.

After returning to the room, Ding Qiunan took out a new dress from the closet, handed it to Li Pingan and said, "I made you a new dress, try it on."

Some time ago, Ding Qiunan went to buy fabrics and came back to make new clothes for the whole family to wear during the Chinese New Year.Ding Qiunan's clothes making skills are good, and she is very innovative, that is, she was born in the wrong age, if she was born in a later life, she might be able to become a senior tailor who specializes in designing clothes for people.

"Not bad, Comrade Ding Qiunan's craftsmanship is getting better and better. Even if you can't be a doctor in the future, you have this skill, and you can still work as a female worker in a textile factory." After trying on the new clothes made by Ding Qiunan, Li Pingan gave A fair assessment.

Ding Qiunan gave Li Pingan a white look: "Don't worry, doctor, I will continue to work hard, take off your clothes and go to bed quickly, you just promised uncle, you have to get up early tomorrow morning."

Li Pingan felt a headache when he heard that he would get up early tomorrow. He really couldn't get up!
Taking off the new clothes and putting them back in the cabinet, Li Pingan came to the dressing table and said meanly to Ding Qiunan who was applying cream on his face: "Well, Comrade Ding Qiunan, after you wake up tomorrow morning, can you Wake up my husband."

"Didn't someone just pat his chest and reassure uncle that he could get up? Why do you need someone to call you?" Ding Qiunan said in a teasing tone while applying cream to his face.

"Isn't that for the sake of the so-called face, lady, please help me as a husband, don't let me embarrass myself in front of my uncle tomorrow"

Li Pingan rubbed Ding Qiunan's shoulders, beat his legs again, and said a lot of good things, so Ding Qiunan agreed to wake him up the next morning.

With Ding Qiunan's guarantee, Li Pingan felt relieved and went to sleep in bed with peace of mind.

The next morning, before dawn, Li Pingan was dragged off the bed by Ding Qiunan. After breakfast, Li Pingan and Yi Zhonghai started the year-end cleaning.

As for Da Ma and Ding Qiunan, they were pushing bicycles and carrying vegetable baskets, and went out to buy necessities for the New Year.

After working all morning, the house was cleaned spotlessly, including the roof beams, which were all scrubbed by Li Pingan.

"Ping An, I'm done with the busy work in the house. Go to the front yard and see if your third master is writing Spring Festival couplets. You can bring something over and let your third master write spring couplets for you." Yi Zhonghai cleaned and bought it in the house The ingredients were not available, so Li Ping asked Li Pingan to find the third master to write couplets.

After receiving the order, Li Pingan casually put a handful of peanuts and melon seeds in his pocket, and wandered out to look for the third master.

On New Year's Eve, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder after the firecrackers exploded, and every household in the courtyard was busy and happy.

The third master Yan Fugui set up a stall early in the front yard, set out pens, ink, paper and inkstones, took out the red paper that had been cut at home, and happily set up a stall to sell Spring Festival couplets.

Don't look at the way the third master usually looks like digging and searching. After all, he has received formal Confucian education. His handwriting is really good, and he is well-known in the surrounding courtyards. At this time of year, next door Many people in the courtyard will come to ask the third master to write Spring Festival couplets.

When Li Pingan came to the front yard, he saw that the third master was splashing ink in the yard, flying and writing Spring Festival couplets on the red paper, and the third master who picked up the brush really had such a literati demeanor. Li Pingan was amazed. .
