Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 112: The cicada knows the coming of autumn

"Xiao Jie, if you can't be transferred back for the time being, just stay here. Xiao Mei and Xiao Ya are about to start school, so we will go back tomorrow."

After spending a summer on the farm, Du Shaojie never received any notice of job transfer.

Wang Yuxiu was actually very disappointed, but she still comforted her son again and again.

The two younger sisters were also very sensible and stopped mentioning the matter for fear of upsetting their brother.

"Well, I'll take you there tomorrow."

Du Shaojie didn't say much. The change in his job transfer was something he had expected. After all, Director Cai had already given him a shot of defense in advance.

The next day, he sent his mother and sister away.

A few days later, he had to see off Zhao Dajun who was about to leave office.

"That damn Lin Zuo must die! All he does is to bully people and write slanderous materials all day long, and he never does any serious work. And yet he was promoted to the position of director with this?"

Chu Xiaowei set up a table at home to see Zhao Dajun off.

Lin Zuo finally got his wish and became the farm manager, while Zhao Dajun was sent to Miaogou Power Plant to be responsible for logistics.

The meal was very dull. Zhao Dajun said almost nothing. He drank one glass of wine after another and successfully got himself drunk.

As soon as the new official took office, Lin Zuo kicked Qin Xiaomei out of the cafeteria and asked her to raise pigs. Chu Xiaowei could not move for the time being because of his identity as a security officer, but he was soon marginalized.

A new person was assigned to the cafeteria to follow Lin Zuo. Li Guixiang felt proud and even the food she was served was served to her according to the person.

Du Shaojie and Wang Liwen's work was highly professional and no one could replace them for the time being. But rumors were rife in the field that the two had been together for a long time, and the stories were very vivid and detailed.

Of course, the two are currently single, so this rumor will not cause any substantial harm to them, but it is disgusting.

Wang Liwen suddenly had the idea of ​​transferring. It was not because she was defeated by the rumors, but because she was worried that it would affect Du Shaojie's future.

"Sister Liwen, will the rumors stop after you leave? No. Where is the root of the problem? It's on the person surnamed Lin. Believe me, that bastard Lin Zuo won't be able to run rampant for many days. Don't worry, that guy will end up in a miserable way."

Du Shaojie doesn't care about all that. Now he and Wang Liwen just treat each other as brother and sister.

However, the two of them really didn't cross the line when they were together, not even hugging each other. There were some things that the two of them tacitly buried in their hearts and restrained each other.

Wang Liwen didn't want to affect the other party's future, while Du Shaojie didn't want to bring more pressure to the other party.

"Shaojie, how can you be so naive? Do you really believe in retribution? Look at Director Zhao. He did so many good things for the farm, but he still had to leave in disgrace? Instead, Lin Zuo got the upper hand. It's really frustrating."

"Sister Liwen, just keep your eyes open and wait and see. It won't take too long."

At night, it started to drizzle outside. The rain continued for three days, as if God was crying.

In early September, a big star fell, and heaven and earth mourned together.

This year has been a turbulent year for China, as we have lost three great figures from the beginning of the year to now.

Ordinary people are lost, but they are not the only ones who are lost.

early morning.

A black Volga sedan quietly drove into the farm.

Du Shaojie had just finished exercising when he saw the car outside his yard.

"Master Xiao Du, the director is in the car."

Director Cai got out of the car and walked up to Du Shaojie.

She didn't say anything else, just that Director Luo was there too.

"It's so early, did you leave in the middle of the night? I'm going to make breakfast, Director Luo, please come in and sit down."

Du Shaojie didn't know the purpose of Director Luo's visit, so he could only treat him as a guest.

Director Cai waved his hand and was about to speak when he saw Director Luo getting out of the car.

"I fell asleep without realizing it! Xiao Du, go make a pot of porridge, some steamed buns, and a plate of pickles. It won't be too much trouble."

Du Shaojie responded with a smile, and then invited Director Luo and Director Cai into the house.

He first made a pot of tea, then asked the driver to take him to buy some steamed buns. After coming back, he went into the kitchen and started working.

It didn't take long for breakfast to be ready.

The staple food is cornmeal porridge and white flour steamed buns, and the side dishes are a plate of stir-fried pickled mustard greens with minced meat, a plate of cold-mixed Chinese cabbage, and two fried eggs per person.

Director Cai called the driver in and the four of them started eating.

Director Luo ate with great relish and didn't complain about the poor food at all.

After dinner, Director Luo asked Du Shaojie to accompany him around, so Du Shaojie went to the field office to ask for a day off. This time, Lin Zuo did not embarrass him because he also saw the Volga car parked in front of the field office building.

The group got off the car near the river bank, and Du Shaojie accompanied Director Luo as they walked and stopped along the river bank.

"Xiao Du, I want to eat the [Dry-fried Fish] and [Big Plate Chicken] that you made. I'll ask Xiao Qian to buy the ingredients later. You can cook them at noon. Is that okay?"

Director Luo and Du Shaojie didn't need to be polite and directly ordered two dishes.

"Look at what you said, what problem can there be with such a small matter?" Du Shaojie naturally agreed, but he felt that Director Luo was worried today, and his whole body exuded a decadent atmosphere. Perhaps the other party had smelled something?
But no matter what, Director Luo was very nice to him. Since it was a rare occasion for him to come to the farm, he would definitely find ways to entertain him well.

"The water quality in this river is good. Are there any fish?"

Director Luo looked at the wide river and felt more relaxed.

He pointed at the river and turned to ask.

"There are fish, and quite a lot of them. The Laolong River is rich in small whitebait, and there are also many other kinds of fish. Carp and grass carp are relatively rare. Whether you can catch them depends on luck."

Du Shaojie has a good understanding of the aquatic conditions in Laolong River and can talk about it in great detail.

Director Luo became interested and wanted to go fishing by the river, but he was worried that it would be difficult to find fishing gear and he didn't want to make things difficult for others.

After a while of hesitation, Director Cai saw the clue and asked Du Shaojie: "Can you find a fishing rod? We have nothing to do right now, why don't we go fishing here."

Du Shaojie thought this was a good idea.

"Fishing gear is fine. We have fishing rods and fishing nets. Director Luo, why don't we go to the county town to buy things? Just eat whatever fish we catch today. Chickens are easy to deal with. I can just go to someone's house and catch one later."

Director Luo smiled and nodded, and Du Shaojie hurried to find Chu Xiaowei.

In a short while, he and Chu Xiaowei brought back fishing rods, fishing nets, and even some baits.

"Director Luo, this is Chu Xiaowei, the security officer of the farm. He is an expert at fishing and catching fish."

Du Shaojie brought the stranger over, so naturally he had to introduce the other person's identity first.

Director Luo was quite happy when he heard this. His fishing skills were not that good, so it was a good thing to have an expert watching him.

So he invited Chu Xiaowei to stay.

Chu Xiaowei was now a marginal figure in the scene, and since there was nothing else to do, he readily agreed.

Director Luo found a place to sit over there with great interest. When Du Shaojie came back, he even brought a few small stools with him so that people wouldn't have to sit on the ground.

With Chu Xiaowei's help, Director Luo quickly got into the state and put all his worries behind him.

Seeing this, Du Shaojie pulled Director Cai away and asked in a low voice, "How come Director Luo has time to come to the farm?"

"The situation is not right now, and the director is also very upset. Xiao Du, your job transfer will have to be slow. At this critical juncture, you should do more things. It is better to stay still than to move."

Director Cai was hinting at something, and Du Shaojie understood it immediately.

But he didn't say anything else. Instead, he made an excuse to prepare ingredients and returned home alone.

There was no need to go to other people's homes to catch chickens. He took out two chickens, some mutton and pork tenderloin from his own storage space, and then went door to door to collect some vegetables.

There are still some vegetables grown by everyone this month, but they will be less after the Frost Descent.

Then Du Shaojie began to process the ingredients. After finishing all the preparations, he ran to the river.

From a distance, he heard Director Luo's hearty laughter: "Haha, I caught another carp."

Chu Xiaowei smiled at the side. There was a carp and some small whitebait in the big bucket underground. The reason why he could have such a big harvest was because of his experience.

Director Luo doesn't care about these things, he will be happy as long as it's not "Air Force".

"Director, the harvest is quite good! I'll take the carp back, you guys continue, and when it's time for dinner, you can go back and eat."

Du Shaojie was very supportive and said a few nice words to Director Luo.

Director Luo was in a very good mood and instantly transformed into a "fishing god" and continued.

Du Shaojie put the two carps into the bag and walked back carrying it.

Director Cai rushed over from behind and said, "Xiao Du, the director likes to eat rice, so this will be the staple food for lunch. Also, you can ask Wang Liwen to come over for dinner as well. She helped her after all, so it's not too much for her to toast the director, right?"

"Ok, no problem."

Du Shaojie agreed readily. He had originally wanted to let Wang Liwen thank Director Luo and Director Cai in person.

Since Director Cai invited Wang Liwen to have lunch together, he took a detour to the infirmary and asked Wang Liwen to come directly to him after get off work at noon as he had something to ask.

The infirmary was a busy place, and Wang Liwen did not ask what was going on, but just nodded.

After returning home, Du Shaojie prepared the two carps and fried them. There were not many types of dishes for lunch, so the portions could be larger.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he cooked the rice and then started to make the [Big Plate Chicken].

This dish takes a little longer to prepare because the chicken needs to be stewed and there aren’t that many stoves in our kitchen.

When the [big plate chicken] was almost ready to be served, Director Luo and others and Wang Liwen walked into the yard one after another, along with Chu Xiaowei.

After fishing for a whole morning, Director Luo and Chu Xiaowei became familiar with each other and insisted on inviting each other to come over for dinner.

Chu Xiaowei could guess that Director Luo was a big boss. After all, how many people could ride in a car these days? He was a little restrained, but he didn't want to go against Director Luo's wishes. He didn't relax until he saw Wang Liwen.

Wang Liwen greeted everyone one by one, and then went to pour water for them to wash their hands.
