A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 976 Hua Twelve fanned the flames, and He Daqing exploded in anger! (Please subscribe!)

As the convoy entered the city, He Daqing began to get anxious: "Twelve, do you think Shazhu and Yushui can accept me as their father?"

  Hua Twelve knew that the opportunity to apply eye drops had come:

"Uncle He, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Let's not talk about how you abandoned your children and ran off with a widow. But we've been seeing each other for several days, and you never asked about how Shazhu and Yushui were doing. Now you open your mouth and ask if they can accept you. It seems like you only care about yourself!"

When he said this, He Daqing felt a little ashamed at first, and then he defended himself:

"It's not that I don't care about them, it's because I know Shazhu and Yushui must be doing well!"

"Who told you they were doing well?"

"Who told me? I just know it!"

Speaking of this, He Daqing became confident:

"When I left, I arranged for Sha Zhu to work in the steel mill. He was a level 27 cook and earned 5 yuan a month!"

"I started sending Yushui 10 yuan a month for living expenses from the second month after I arrived in Baoding. His brother and sister get 37 yuan a month. This money is enough to support the whole family, not just the two of them!"

"Plus, my Shazhu is a cook. He doesn't starve even in years of famine. How could they be living a bad life?"

Hua Twelve laughed: "But what I know doesn't seem to be the case!"

"As far as I know, Sha Zhu was not a level 19 cook when he joined the steel mill. He started out as an apprentice and worked as an apprentice for three years. His salary in the first year was only yuan a month!"

He Daqing was shocked: "How is it possible? I have arranged everything at the factory. Sha Zhu should be a regular employee!"

"How can I lie to you? You can ask Sha Zhu later and you'll know. But he is now an eighth-level cook, and his monthly salary of 37 yuan is not bad!"

He Daqing slapped his thigh and said, "This is not right. I know Shazhu's cooking skills. I taught him Tan's cuisine myself, and then he learned Sichuan cuisine from a Sichuan cuisine master at Fengze Garden. He must be a level 6 cook now!"

"I know this for sure. Shazhu's mouth is too foul and he always offends his superiors, so his rating has never been raised!"

  He Daqing complained angrily:

"This silly Zhu has had this temper since he was a child, but 37.5 is indeed a lot. After working for so many years, he should have saved some money. I think it's enough for him to get married. I will help him arrange it when I go back this time!"

Hua Twelve laughed out loud: "If you can find a hundred dollars from Sha Zhu, I lose!"

  He Daqing was startled, glanced at the driver who was driving, leaned close to Hua Twelve's ear and lowered his voice:

"Twelve, tell me the truth, what's going on? Has Shazhu learned to play with money? Or is he too old and can't help himself, so he always goes to the secret door?"

  Hua Twelve waved his hand:

"No, it's just that silly Zhu always helps the Jia family. The uncle always says that the Jia family is in trouble and calls on the whole hospital to help the Jia family. He also organized several donation activities for the Jia family. Your Zhuzi responded actively. In addition to donating money, I heard that he also lent money to the Jia family. Anyway, he himself couldn't afford to eat or wear anything!"

"Oh, by the way, the lunch boxes that Shazhu brought back from the kitchen were used by the brothers and sisters to eat together. Later, the lunch boxes were given to the Jia family because the eldest uncle said that the Jia family was in financial difficulty!"

"Maybe Yushui is too young to understand the principle of mutual assistance. She made trouble a few times, which seriously affected Shazhu's support for the Jia family. The uncle couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave Shazhu an idea and let Yushui live in the school directly, and only come back two or three times a month!"

He Daqing's eyes turned red: "What does Yi Zhonghai want to do? If he wants to help himself, why doesn't he help himself?"

  After being angry for a while, He Daqing calmed down and spoke as if to comfort himself:

"Yu Shui can't point fingers at Sha Zhu, but I think she's doing pretty well. I send her ten dollars a month for living expenses. She has her own money, so she can buy whatever she wants. It's pretty good!"

Hua Twelve chuckled and said, "You must have remembered it wrongly. No one in the entire courtyard has ever heard of you sending money to Yu Shui!"

He Daqing laughed when he talked about this: "Of course, there aren't many good people in our courtyard, so I can't let anyone know about this. Anyway, it's OK if you know that I sent money to Yushui."

Hua Twelve smiled faintly: "I don't know whether you sent the money or not, but it rained heavily. The girl didn't even have a new piece of clothing and was starving like a stick!"

He Daqing couldn't believe it: "That's impossible. I remember that girl was so cute and pretty. How come she didn't buy new clothes even though she had money? Could it be that she has grown up and learned how to live?"

  Hua Twelve nodded in agreement:

"Yu Shui is really good at it. You said that she has only had 10 yuan a month since she started primary school, and she has lived a very rich life until now. But this girl is so good, she knows how to live. Just two days ago, when Sha Zhu was not at home, Yu Shui was crying in the yard because of hunger!"

He Daqing's face turned dark. Are you sure you are not being sarcastic when you say that rainwater can help people survive? Who would cry because of hunger if they have money?

"Twelve, you didn't lie to me, did you? Is Yu Shui really that hungry?"

"You're almost home, how can I lie to you?"

He Daqing shook his head: "It's not that I don't believe you, you just said that Sha Zhu has helped the Jia family a lot. Yu Shui has nothing to eat, so he can go to the Jia family and ask for some food to fill his stomach!"

"Listen to me first. Last week, when Yu Shui came back, Sha Zhu brought her a chicken drumstick, but it was snatched away by the eldest grandson of the Jia family. When Yu Shui went to ask for it back, Aunt Jia said, 'Why are you eating the chicken drumstick, you loser? You should give it to the grandson!'"

"When Yu Shui makes a fuss, even the uncle and the fool criticize Yu Shui for being ignorant!"

"Two days later, Yu Shui needed to pay school fees, so she came back to ask Sha Zhu for it, intending to have dinner at home. But Sha Zhu was working overtime at the factory, and there was not a grain of rice in the rice jar. Yu Shui was hungry until dark, so she went to Lao Jia's house across the street, but they said they didn't prepare much. I guess they thought Yu Shui was a money-loser, so they didn't give her anything anyway!"

He Daqing felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and he slammed his thigh fiercely: "Fuck his ancestors!"

The truck suddenly lurched forward.

The driver next to him yelled, "Why the hell are you hitting my legs? The car is going to flip over and all three of us will die!"

Hua Shier really wanted to correct him, it is you two who will be doomed, but I will be fine.

He Daqing quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was so angry that I hit the wrong person."

After calming the driver down, he asked Hua Twelve:

"The Jia family didn't give it to me, so Yu Shui went to Lao Yi's house. Lao Yi and his wife have a good relationship with me."

Hua Twelve gave a thumbs up:

  "You are really good at judging people. Yu Shui did go there. It should be said that the uncle and his wife were kind-hearted. The aunt gave Yu Shui half a steamed bread. However, the steamed bread was a little cold and hard, and Yu Shui couldn't chew it, so he didn't want it!" He Daqing didn't get angry this time, but his eyes were red. He continued to ask:

"Did Yu Shui go to the old lady in the backyard? When I was still here, I would prepare meat for the old lady every now and then to honor her. If Yu Shui went there, she would definitely have a meal!"

  Hua Twelve nodded in agreement again:

"I think what you said is absolutely right, Uncle He. If the old lady wants to have a bite of food, she has to give it to Yu Shui. But that day the old lady didn't eat rice, she ate noodles. So when she saw Yu Shui leaving, she didn't feel comfortable taking the bowl out and hid it. When Yu Shui saw it, he probably felt embarrassed for the old lady, so he went back to his brother's ear room, sat in front of the door and cried."

He Daqing clenched his fists tightly, until his fingers turned white: "So Yu Shui was hungry all night?"

"That's impossible. When I saw Yu Shui crying, I asked her to come to my main room and cook noodles and an egg for her!"

He Daqing was relieved to hear that his daughter hadn't been hungry all night, "Twelve, I have to say it's you!"

After saying that, he felt something was wrong: "No, just now you said Shazhu's side room is your main room? You got it wrong, isn't it that our house is the main room, and you live in the side room?"

Hua Twelve smiled and explained the whole story.

  When He Daqing heard that Yi Zhonghai secretly signed up Hua Shier to go to the countryside, and Sha Zhu even helped to give false testimony, he hated him for not fighting back:

"What a fool you are, Shazhu!"

  When He Daqing learned that Hua Twelve was the owner of the entire courtyard, he sighed:

"It's right to change this house. You've been very generous of us to let our family live in the main house for so many years while you live in the wing room. This house should have been changed long ago!"

Hua Shier nodded in his heart. Although He Daqing ran away with a widow, which was unreliable, he was quite reasonable in other things.

  He then applied eye drops:

"Changing rooms and stuff like that are not important. I just think, Yushui is such a good kid. You said you sent her ten dollars a month, but she would rather cry from hunger than buy herself something to eat. You said eating three dishes and a soup at a restaurant only costs a few cents, she's too thrifty!"

He Daqing was breathing heavily while listening to this, and after a while he asked Hua Twelve: "Do you think Yu Shui didn't receive my money?"

"That's impossible, right? Didn't you send it to Yu Shui? As long as you wrote her name, even if it didn't get delivered once or twice over the years, it shouldn't be impossible for it to not be received!"

  He Daqing looked fierce:

"When I sent the money, I thought Yu Shui was too young and Sha Zhu was a half-grown boy and unreliable. I told Lao Yi before I left and told him to send the money to him later. You said it couldn't be Lao Yi who secretly kept the money I sent to Yu Shui!"

Hua Shier's original intention was to flatter Yi Zhonghai, but he couldn't admit it now. This guy knew the essence of fanning the flames. At this moment, not only could he not add insult to injury, but he had to help Yi Zhonghai out. Only in this way could he get himself out of the situation and appear sincere.

"That's impossible. The uncle is such a loyal man. He often advises your Shazhu not to be so selfish and asks him to help the Jia family more. How could such a person do such a thing? Besides, he only earns 99 yuan a month. How can he miss your 10 yuan?"

After he said this, He Daqing's face looked much better:

"That's true. He makes ninety-nine dollars a month, which he can't spend. How could he covet ten dollars? Did I misunderstand Lao Yi?"

  Hua Twelve clapped his hands:

"Of course you did. You must have misunderstood me. Let me give you an idea. It's only afternoon now and the post office isn't closed yet. Go check the receipt to see where your money went and who received it!"

He Daqing came to his senses after hearing this: "Yes, yes, this matter needs to be investigated. I will go to the post office to find out!"

  Hua Twelve continues to remind:

"Also, I think you should go to the steel mill and ask about the situation. You gave the job to Sha Zhu, so why has Sha Zhu been a temporary worker for three years? How can you bully people like this? If it were me, I would definitely not tolerate it and would have to make a scene. We have long been ruled by the people, so how can there be such bullying?"

  He Daqing was provoked by him again and again, and he could hardly suppress his anger:

"Twelve, you are right. I must seek justice. After I finish my work at the post office, I will go to the factory and see who is bullying my silly Zhu."

The truck stopped at Xizhimen. He Daqing went to the post office first. Hua Shier and others returned to the factory and were warmly welcomed by the leaders.

  Director Yang took Hua Twelve's hand and said:

"Heroes emerge from youth. I never thought our factory would produce such a young combat hero!"

  Deputy Director Li at the side also had a smile on his face:

"Originally, the factory was going to put up a banner to welcome the heroes back, but after discussing it with Director Yang, we were afraid that you would be retaliated against by bad elements, so we cancelled the unnecessary formality. Comrade Xiaohua, please don't mind!"

"But the reward will not be small. Go to the small conference room later. Our factory and the leaders above have prepared a small celebration ceremony for you!"

In the small conference room, the department in charge of the steel mill, several leaders of Industry B, and several military leaders had been waiting there for a long time. They awarded Hua Twelve an individual second-class merit medal, as well as a collective second-class merit medal to all members of the convoy.

The factory gave a bonus of 200 yuan to each person who made meritorious service. Hua Shier was awarded a second-class merit and was given an additional 300 yuan, for a total of 500 yuan.

No one is jealous of his wealth. Everyone in the convoy knows that it is earned by his own ability. If Hua's twelve bullets had not hit their targets that day, no one would have made any contribution and would have been beaten to death on the spot by the bad guys.

So they are truly convinced.

After the celebration, the leaders left. Hua Shier pulled Director Yang and Deputy Director Li aside and took out the 500 yuan:

"Two leaders, I don't want this money. Please give it to Zhang Ke's family on my behalf!"

The two factory managers looked at each other, their eyes flashing with admiration, and Factory Manager Yang said:

"You should keep this money. Our factory will take full responsibility for the sacrificed comrades, in addition to the compensation they deserve!"

Hua Twelve shook his head: "This money is my personal donation to them. After all, the pillar of the family has collapsed. Life will definitely not be easy in the future. I don't have any difficulties here. This money is my token of my appreciation!"

This time Director Yang put it away: "Okay, I will definitely help you pass it on!"

Deputy Director Li smiled and said, "By the way, I have good news for you. After research, the factory has unanimously decided to promote you to the position of Chief of the Security Section and Deputy Chief of the Security Department. This is what you deserve!"

At this time, someone suddenly came to the two factory managers to report: "Factory Manager, something bad has happened. There's a commotion in the cafeteria. Master He's father is chasing the cafeteria director and beating him up!"

Director Yang was startled: "Who? He Yuzhu's father, He Daqing?"

Everyone rushed to the cafeteria and saw He Daqing holding a kitchen knife and chasing the cafeteria director:

"You bastard Wu, you are cheating my son. Stop him quickly, Shazhu, and let me chop him!"

　Thanks to: 08a, Brother Xiao Xiaohu in the Demon World for the reward, and thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you very much.
