Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 137 Isn’t This Change Too Big?

Huang Tingting was unwilling to leave her current unit, and her parents supported her. It is said that Huang Tingting's mother went to the Electric Power Industry Bureau and made a scene, which almost made Huang Yicheng lose face.

Du Shaojie couldn't understand what Huang Yicheng was trying to do. Many times, what he did was ridiculous.

Before getting off work in the evening, Liao Yongxin suddenly ran to the hotel to find him.

"Master Liao, what a rare guest! Have you eaten? If not, we can order two dishes."

"You big head ghost, I stewed an old hen in the house, and will stir-fry some chicken offal later. Let's have a few drinks. I have something to talk to you."

Liao Yongxin invited Du Shaojie to his house for dinner, probably because of something.

Du Shaojie went in and greeted Wang Xuejun, changed his clothes, left the restaurant, and followed Liao Yongxin to the staff quarters of the Electric Power Industry Bureau.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Liao Yongxin started talking.

"I'm tired and want to retire early. But when I went to the personnel department to ask, they said it couldn't be done now and I'd have to wait a few years. These days I've been thinking about transferring back to my hometown so I don't have to wander around alone all the time."

"Why? Is Huang Yicheng trying to make things difficult for you again?"

Du Shaojie always thought that Liao Yongxin was very optimistic, and it didn't make sense for him to suddenly want to quit after working for a lifetime.

He immediately thought of Huang Yicheng. Before this, the conflict between Liao Yongxin and Huang Yicheng had become public, and everyone in the unit knew about it.

That's why he asked this.

"It has nothing to do with that bastard. I didn't make any principled mistakes, so what can he do to me? A few days ago, I suddenly received a letter from my master. He is on the other side of the ocean and has opened a Sichuan restaurant in Chinatown.

Oh, you know what? My success and failure in this life are all due to my master. He ran away to a foreign country without a care in the world, and I have suffered a lot because of this relationship.

Master said that the current environment is more relaxed, and he wants me to go find him when the time is right. As for me, I just want to be with my family now. I have been away from home for so many years and have not taken good care of them! "

Liao Yongxin was rarely moved. He drank as he talked, and before they knew it, a bottle of Moutai had gone into their stomachs.

Du Shaojie could understand the other party's feelings. It would be better if there was no news from the master. But after receiving the letter from the master, Liao Yongxin's mentality collapsed immediately.

"Master Liao, I shouldn't have advised you on this matter. But, your hasty decision may not be a good thing.

According to my judgment, the wind direction will change dramatically soon, and some of the things that happened before will become history. When the time comes, there will be no obstacles for Master Gong to come back or for you to visit him. "

Du Shaojie hesitated for a long time before speaking.

He knew very well that a historic turning point would occur by the end of the year at the latest. By then, the burden on Liao Yongxin would no longer exist, the curtain of reform and opening up would slowly open, and many things would be different.

It is actually very difficult to transfer now. It is better to be patient and wait, and everything will fall into place.

"Are you serious? You're not kidding?"

After hearing this, Liao Yongxin found it unbelievable.

"Really? I'm not kidding. We've endured this long, so it's okay to wait a little longer, right? Right and wrong will be proven soon, so why are you in such a hurry?"

"That's right! Then let's not talk about these trivial things for now. I will trust you for once. If you dare to fool me, I will beat you up."

Liao Yongxin was a little drunk, and his tongue was a little curled when he spoke.

Du Shaojie calmed the other person down, ate and drank his fill, then said goodbye and left.

After returning to the dormitory, he simply washed up and fell asleep. He had drunk a lot today, so he was not drunk, but he was a little dizzy.

On the weekend, Du Shaojie took a day off and made 40 [Dezhou Braised Chicken] for Su Dapeng in one go.

Su Dapeng took them away in two batches. These chickens were reserved in advance, and he only needed to deliver them to the people one by one. After finishing his work, he brought a bottle of wine and some fried peanuts and fried soybeans to chat with Du Shaojie.

The weather was fine, so the two of them sat in the yard drinking and chatting, which was quite comfortable.

"Dapeng, is everything going well at work?"

Du Shaojie felt that Su Dapeng was not doing his job properly all day, so he asked about his work situation.

"I'm not busy at work. Ours is a large collective unit, and it's half dead. Alas, employees with means want to be transferred to state-owned units, but how can transfer be so easy? Just do your job as it comes."

The hardware factory has been in an increasingly sluggish state in the past two years, and even Su Dapeng has sensed a crisis.

Du Shaojie nodded, not knowing what to say. In a few years, the first to collapse will be these large and small collective units. The great changes of the times will affect all aspects of society, and no one can stop it.

He suddenly felt that it was good to be like Su Dapeng now. Although he seemed to be not doing his job properly, he was honing his abilities. If the company really went bankrupt, at least he would not have to worry about having no food to eat.

"Dapeng, Miqin said she would come back to visit her family in a few days. She will be gone for several years. We should have a good reunion then."

Speaking of Liang Meiqin, Du Shaojie's mind came up with a quiet and beautiful girl. Liang Meiqin is indeed not as beautiful as Qi Yan, but she has a special temperament and meets the image of a classical beauty in all aspects.

Overall, Liang Meiqin and Qi Yan each have their own strengths.

But such a girl with a weak appearance happened to join the army. I really don’t know what kind of changes she would undergo.

"Mikoto is coming back soon, so we have to get together. Well, Yanzi should be on summer vacation by then, right? It would be even better if she could come back, so the four of us can play together again."

Su Dapeng grinned and looked very happy.

The two of them drank until the sun set and then dispersed. Wang Yuxiu asked Su Dapeng to stay for dinner, but he shook his head, said he was not hungry, and got up and left.

In the evening, Wang Yuxiu cooked a pot of soup and rice. Du Shaojie put some more chili oil and vinegar in his bowl. After eating, he felt relaxed all over, and the drunkenness in his body dissipated immediately.

After dinner, Xiaomei and Xiaoya were going to review their lessons. Du Shaojie helped clean up the mess and then rode his bike to the dormitory. It wasn't far anyway, so he just took it as a way to digest his food. He still didn't like sleeping in a cubicle.

A few days passed quickly.

Xiaomei and Xiaoya finished their final exams and summer vacation arrived.

Xiaoya's academic performance is better than her sister's, and her overall score ranks among the top ten in the grade. Xiaomei is also good, with her overall score in the top 50 in the grade. The teacher said that as long as she continues to work hard, she has every hope of being admitted to a key university.

Du Shaojie was naturally very happy. His two younger sisters were very sensible, especially regarding their studies, and he hardly needed to worry about them.

At noon that day, after he finished his work in the kitchen, he walked to the door of the Chinese restaurant and saw that Xiaomei and Xiaoya had already arrived.

"Xiaomei, Xiaoya, why don't you come in and wait? What do you two want to eat? Let's go back to the dormitory and eat."

The two of them had made an appointment in advance to come here today, and Du Shaojie planned to take them to Xinhua Bookstore during the lunch break.

"Brother, I want to eat a big plate of chicken belt noodles."

"Brother, I want to eat too."

Well, both sisters wanted to have a big plate of chicken scallion noodles, so he packed one for each of them.

He went to get a staff meal, and the three of them returned to the dormitory and had a happy lunch.

Afterwards, Du Shaojie took his two sisters to Xinhua Bookstore.

Xiaomei and Xiaoya each picked out some tutoring materials, and he bought some stationery for them, spending about 10 yuan in total.

Coming out of the bookstore, he saw someone selling popsicles on the roadside and bought three milk popsicles.

"Brother, you're the best!"

Xiaoya is still so sweet-talker. She doesn't forget to flatter her brother while eating popsicle.

Xiaomei has grown taller now, about 1.6 meters tall. As a grown-up girl, she should be more reserved when speaking: "Thank you, brother."

"Just take the bus back, don't stay outside, do you hear me?"

"Yeah, got it, bro."

There is a bus stop near Xinhua Bookstore, and it takes five stops to Chunfeng Lane from here.

Not wanting his two younger sisters to be too tired in such a hot day, Du Shaojie gave Xiaomei and Xiaoya 1 yuan each and then sent them to the car.

The train ticket definitely costs less than 1 dollar, so use the extra money to buy them soda and popsicles.

Du Shaojie rode his bike back to the hotel and went straight to work. He usually had little uninterrupted time, and lunch and dinner completely fragmented his time.

And the day off is not always on Sunday. Sometimes Sunday is busier and he still has to go to work.

"Master Du, your telegram."

In the afternoon, Du Shaojie was busy when Huang Tingting ran over with a telegram.

He was stunned for a moment, unable to guess who had sent the telegram. However, generally speaking, no one would send a telegram for no reason unless it was an emergency, so he quickly took it, opened it, and took a quick look.

The telegram was from Wang Liwen. It contained only a few words: "I'm fine. How about you?"

"What a psycho! He sent a telegram for no reason. It scared me."

Fortunately, the other party didn't come over, otherwise he would definitely grab her and spank her.

But these few joking words hit Du Shaojie's chest hard, and he couldn't let it go for a long time.

He muttered something under his breath, then kicked the telegram into his arms and continued to work.

"Huang Tingting, Xiao Jianjun, you two cut the shredded potatoes and celery."

Du Shaojie consciously asked the two apprentices to practice knife skills more, which made the three educated youth following Dong Yunxian very envious. They are still doing odd jobs until now.

Everyone has a different way of working, and it’s hard to say whose method is better.

Two days later.

Qi Yan returned home, and Liang Meiqin also returned home.

Du Shaojie took a day off, and Su Dapeng took a day off, and the four of them finally got together again.

Among the four people, Liang Meiqin has changed the most. She is a little darker, and her weight is about the same as before. She looks energetic with short hair. The delicate aura on her body is gone, but she still looks heroic in casual clothes.

"It's better to train people in the army!"

Several people were sitting in the yard of Liang Meiqin's house. On the stone table were cut watermelons and a plate of grapes.

Du Shaojie, Qi Yan and Su Dapeng looked at Liang Meiqin and they were all very emotional. Isn't this a huge change?
