The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chapter 409 Mid-Autumn Mooncake Incident
Several canteens in the steel rolling mill were busy at this time.

All the members of the union went down to the kitchen. As for the reason, you will know just by looking at Silly Zhu over there, who is knocking on the mold.

"What are you doing with mooncakes? Is this what we working class eat? We only know how to burden the canteen all day long!"

Liu Lan on the side was working enthusiastically. Seeing Si Zhu's cold words, she slowed down her work a little.

"Silly Zhu, if you don't want to eat it, give me your share. Several of my children have been missing this thing for several years!"

"No, I have put in so much sweat, and you ask me to give it to you. What can my sister eat?"

"Come on, just say it if you don't want to give it. You even used your sister as an excuse. Your brother-in-law's family works in this factory!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Seeing that Liu Lan had exposed him, He Yuzhu was not embarrassed at all. He knocked on three molds in succession and then slowly put the petal-shaped mooncake embryos into the tray.

"Pay attention to your hygiene. Comrades in the factory will take it back today. Some people are reluctant to eat it. It's given as a gift, so don't throw it outside in disgrace."

The left member of the trade union, as the life committee member, faced the new urgent task of the trade union during the Mid-Autumn Festival, making mooncakes. He was really busy for a while and spent a lot of favors to get all the materials that were missing in the factory.

He is more concerned about waste than others. From time to time, you can see him using the blade of a knife to push the sugar granules and flour that have fallen to the edge of the table into the center of the table.

"I said, your union is also bothering other departments. Don't bother to catch us in the cafeteria without notifying us in advance. We are really exhausted. Who will cook for you!"

Chef He seems to still have complaints about making mung bean soup in the previous summer. In the past few days, he has been busy setting up ovens and washing tray molds. He can't catch fish. He is full of complaints. While everyone is busy working, he is really loud. Say it directly.

"Silly Zhu, shut your stinky mouth. You don't know how high the sky is when you first come back!"

Facing He Yuzhu's questioning to Committee Member Zuo, Director Zhang was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. Committee Member Zuo was also the number one figure in the factory when he was young and knew more people than Sha Zhu had done.

He hurriedly ran from the office to the kitchen, glared at He Yuzhu and warned.

"Okay, okay, okay, shut up. Oh, Director Zhang, why don't you just cough? Why are you so anxious? The labor union committee member didn't even reply!"

He Yuzhu, who was very good at cutting meat, didn't think there was anything wrong with him. His left arm felt uncomfortable no matter how hard he exerted it. If it weren't for the task imposed by his superiors, he wouldn't be willing to serve it.

Committee member Zuo waved his hand and did not let the angry union officer reprimand He Yuzhu. Instead, he walked over with his hands behind his back, stared at He Yuzhu's unruly eyes, and asked seriously.

"Xiao Zhang, it's okay. This little comrade seems a little confused about the union's practices. This is normal. When you are doing work, you not only have to work hard, but you also have to look up occasionally!"

"If I remember correctly, you are Xiao He, right? Do you know how much the union spent to get the materials for making mooncakes for everyone this time?"

Chef He put the mooncakes on the tray into the oven, took off his insulated gloves and threw them aside, rolling his eyes.

"I don't know how much money the union has, but they can't pay it to me. Anyway, this thing is not cheap. If our third cafeteria has this money, we might as well make two more steamed buns for everyone!"

"Haha, what you said makes sense, but we can't ask the canteen to make more steamed buns for no reason. However, the young comrade's thinking may not have changed yet. The dues collected by the union will also be used for all employees, just like this time We spent so much on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Committee Member Zuo extended five fingers!"

"Hey, 5 yuan, the union is really rich!"

He Yuzhu shook his head and took the stage lightly. He, a cook who was good at both red and white dishes, didn't know how much a pound of mooncakes cost. He could probably calculate how many cents each cost, but he just wanted to laugh at it.

"Not that much, 5000 yuan, that's it, it's two months' membership dues. Do you really want them to use two months' membership dues to buy mooncakes? I can't buy them. Not to mention mooncake tickets, at most I can only buy half a mooncake!"

"It's not enough to give it back, let alone give it away!"

"The union added some money to purchase crushed peanuts, green and red silk, white sugar, and soybean oil, and the factory added flour. Finally, everyone can find some benefits!"

Facing Commissar Zuo's words, everyone else in the cafeteria nodded. He Yuzhu was right. Mooncakes are not something ordinary people can eat, but what Commissar Zuo said was fine. He made them himself, although the prices were different. It's a little too big, but it's really a big quantity. If both husband and wife were in the factory, they could share four pieces of mooncakes.

This is one kilogram. You must know that one kilogram of mooncakes from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative is equivalent to nearly two kilograms of pork. For this, you still need to get the hard-to-get mooncake tickets, which are good things that can only be obtained from the Commerce Bureau.

"Mr. Zuo, don't get angry with him. He's just a chef who only knows how to cook. He knows nothing!"

Director Zhang saw that Shazhu was holding back and turned off the engine, so he quickly pointed at his nose and gave him a step. He welcomed the making of mooncakes with both hands.

First, he doesn't need to do anything anyway, and second, the materials given must be rich. As long as he makes enough mooncakes, the canteen will take care of the rest. These are all worthy holiday gifts.

"It's okay, it's okay. Just like what Vice President Li of our labor union said, the employees' yearning for a better life is our goal. Seeking happiness for them is the original intention of our union. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Hey, Li Feng created his emotions again. With this tone and state of mind, I can't even catch up with him!"

"Okay, okay, Silly Zhu, you said it too, we will be working together soon, everything is done, and you are still nagging here!"

Liu Lan glanced at the small pile of soft white sugar left on the counter. She was eyeing this thing. The children at home were greedy. This stuff was soaked in sugar water, which was also a good thing. She didn't like soybean oil and crushed peanuts. .

At the end of the day, all the employees in the steel rolling mill were in high spirits. They were also notified by loudspeakers to receive moon cakes. Everyone in the factory got their tickets in the afternoon, and they couldn't wait to rush to various canteens.

I haven't eaten mooncakes for several years, but I didn't expect that this year, the factory would be very generous.

The employees queuing up, whether they were cadres or workers, all looked a little anxious, eager to go back and share things with their families, something that other factories simply didn't have.

There was also orderliness in the chaos of the team. Each clean aluminum lunch box contained freshly baked mooncakes that were still a little warm, which made everyone smile.

Qin Huairu bit her lower lip and looked at the mooncakes in the lunch box. She was also overjoyed. The ones sold outside were too expensive and she couldn't get tickets. Let's go back and chop these two pieces. It can feed the three children for a month.

Looking back at He Yuzhu who was sharing moon cakes with employees at the window, Qin Huairu's eyes instantly showed a hint of cunning.

"How about you, do you want to give one to your parents? Doesn't your girl like to eat these?"

In the parking shed, Li Feng nodded in front of the workers who kept thanking him, then pushed the car and said to Xiao Huang beside him.

Xiao Huang opened the aluminum lunch box and sniffed it gently. He obviously wanted to eat it, but he knew that he couldn't eat it and would vomit after eating it. The good food was wasted.

"I can't eat it, why don't you eat it?"

It seems that Xiao Huang was not thinking about her old sister, but asked Li Feng. Instead of giving it to the heartless little guy, she was more willing to give the mooncake to her husband.

Li Feng glanced at the corner of his mouth. This mooncake lacked rock sugar, but could barely be called a five-nut mooncake. It was the pain in the heart of every post-90s generation. When he thought of the red and green silk inside, and the sweet taste, his heart It was refused.

"Leave one piece for Xiaonan and mom, and you can make up your mind for the remaining three pieces!"

"Give one piece to my uncle and the others, and put away two pieces. This thing can be stored anyway. I want to eat it when I feel better!" Xiao Huang seems to have not eaten this thing for a long time. It's not that he can't bear it, but he only has this thing in a year. I have these mooncakes for a few days. If I miss them for a year, it means I haven’t eaten them for two years. I want to be a little hamster and hoard snacks.

"Haha, it's no use for your parents to love you. Fortunately, we took a lot of things earlier!"

"I hate it, stop talking. They all have tickets. If you want to eat, you can buy it yourself!"

Xiao Huang secretly poked and pinched the soft flesh on her husband's waist, then rubbed it, hugged his lower back happily, and looked at the two lunch boxes in her hands.

She felt that she was very lucky. Along the way from the Transportation Department, so many workers and cadres greeted him. Fortunately, she was one step ahead before others noticed. Otherwise, she would have had to compete with many girls to win this lover.

Qin Huairu held her net bag and watched Li Feng and his wife go away with their sweet laughter. She stood there for a moment. At this time, her eyes were full of envy and jealousy.

The golden Japanese melon in this courtyard was actually pried away by someone outside the courtyard.

"It's a pity that Jingru doesn't have this life!"

Thinking about the girl who was under eighteen, Qin Huairu couldn't help but shook her head. If the Li family had some relationship with the Qin family, and if Li Feng and Dongxu were shouldering the burden, she wouldn't do the hard work in the workshop anyway.

Smelling the smell of engine oil and stinky sweat on her body, Qin Huairu was angry with her cousin for the first time because she gave birth too late. Otherwise, her waist would be much better than Xiao Huangke's.

"Sister Qin~!"

Not far away, a voice shouted to her from behind. Qin Huairu looked back and saw that Xu Damao was riding a bicycle. The back seat was filled with movie equipment, and it happened to stop in front of him.

"Sister Qin, take these mooncakes back to the children. I'll go to the hospital to see my mother first!"

Without any explanation, Xu Damao removed the net bag from the handlebar and stuffed it into Qin Huairu's hand. By the way, Xu Damao also drew a circle on the back of her hand and squeezed it.

This time Qin Huairu didn't resist at all, and even had a hint of charm on her face, and was forced to break away from Xu Damao's mischievous hand.

"Da Mao, I can thank you very much on behalf of the children!"

"Sister, save this thank you for now. When we are the only two left tomorrow, you can thank me again and I will go first!"

Xu Damao, who had tasted the bargain, ran away quickly. After seeing his mother, he had to run to the countryside. He happened to go hunting for wild food. Xu Damao felt a little uncomfortable at this time.

Looking at Xu Damao walking away, the sweet smile on Qin Huairu's face slowly disappeared, her eyes were a little confused, looking at the lunch box with an extra lunch box in her hand, and thinking of the children at home, Qin Huairu bit her lower lip.

"Oh, don't give it to me. I have it at home. You can take it back and eat it yourself!"

"Brother-in-law, this isn't for you, it's for my sister. Help me give it to her!"

Because of Xu Damao's delay, there were only a few workers left on the road to the factory, and here, there were two gay men chatting with each other!

"My uncle, my dad also gave me his share. It's luxurious enough for the two of us to eat four. You take it back and give it to dad!"

The pushers were none other than He Yuzhu and Jia Haijie, whom Qin Huairu was familiar with.

It is obvious that Jia Haijie is now "fearful" of this brother-in-law who is very capable of causing trouble. Faced with his attempts to get closer to each other, he did not give him any chance. During the wedding days, his wife ran to the hospital every day, and he was eager to do so. Stay away from this uncle.

The kind that has nothing to do with it.

But was He Yuzhu happy? He deliberately picked two large mooncakes and saved them for last. When he was hospitalized, his sister still sent him meals. He didn't even want to give the mooncakes to his father to feed his dog.

"Okay, okay, brother-in-law, to tell you the truth, my family doesn't lack these. My dad also has mooncake tickets from other units. This cafeteria makes them himself, and we don't like them. You can't be polite, okay. , the rain will not be short of these food!”

As a veteran driver of a large truck, he is not short of money. His father is still good at repairing cars. During his breaks, he goes to other small units to help with repairs and earns a lot of extra money. For these two moon cakes, let him The daughter-in-law has a relationship with the brother-in-law, and he will not engage in such a loss-making business.

It was too late to feel sorry for his newly married wife. He didn't want He Yuyu, who had just started working, to take time off to take care of his mother's family.

Call it selfish, this brother-in-law was blown up with a grenade, and Jia Haijie is so angry that he doesn't want He Yuyu to go to that courtyard again.

Jia Haijie walked away in a hurry, leaving only He Yuzhu with a unhappy expression. He couldn't understand why his brother-in-law was so disrespectful to his sister when he gave her something good.

"Zhuzi, he obviously doesn't want to get involved with your family anymore!"

The confidant elder sister Qin Huairu was online at this moment. Facing the frustrated big pillar, she threw a Q.

"Why, she's his wife, isn't she my sister?"

Qin Huairu, who was approaching Xu Damao, didn't want to say much. He Yuzhu actually saw Jia Haijie's impatience, but was exposed by Sister Qin, and he was still a little worried about his face.

"Hey, don't cause more trouble. When the time comes, their family will naturally look at you seriously. When your sister gives birth to a child, the relationship between the two parties will naturally be closer!"

He Yuzhu looked gloomy when Qin Huairu said that, and he regretted listening to Li Feng's words in the first place. The addition of a brother-in-law alienated his sister.

"Why are you carrying two lunch boxes in your hand, given to you by Xu Damao?"

Seeing that there was an extra net bag in Sister Qin's hand, He Yuzhu felt even more unhappy and said sarcastically.

"You're overthinking, Zhuzi. Sister Qin's family has many children, but she doesn't just take advantage of others. This is to be brought back for him. He is in a hurry to go to the hospital. My mother has helped me take care of Sophora japonica. Besides, How could he be willing to give away mooncakes?"

Qin Huairu's face remained unchanged and she lied. This rather good explanation made He Yuzhu look like a villain.

"Yes, Sister Qin, Xu Damao is reluctant to give it up, but I am willing to give it up. Your child is just growing up, so you can take it!"

Qin Huairu is really not a casual person, and the mooncake instantly gets +2 again.

"Old Liu, what interesting thing are you holding in your hand? And it's wrapped in oil paper?"

Lao Zhao, who was collecting water in the middle courtyard, looked at Liu Haizhong holding a small paper bag, looking embarrassed, and asked curiously.

"Well, the mooncakes given out by the factory are two pieces per person. You can wrap them up and give them to others!"

Old Liu was really sincere, and did not avoid it at all with the intention of showing off, but he just didn't see that Jia's window opened a crack.

When Qin Huairu, who had gained a lot, opened the door of her room and saw the old woman standing in the room.

The three lunch boxes in his hands fell to the ground in an instant.
