The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 337 There's Someone Above Me!!!
After Zhang Shenfei told his brother and sister-in-law about his plan to reduce the number of times he went to Yunju Hutong and to eat a fixed amount of food for each meal, they both expressed their understanding.

Still haunted by what happened to Sha Zhu yesterday, Zhang Shenliang simply suggested that the family should only eat two meals in the courtyard from now on.

"We have many children, all of them are half-grown, so the total amount is small. Since we are doing a show, let's do the whole set."

The couple are contented people, and after seeing all the things that happened in the courtyard house in the past six months, they are still frightened.

The wisdom of ordinary people is to never lead the way, never lag behind, and always follow the main force.

Only in this way is it safest.

And no matter what, they can still have a meal of fine dry grain every day in Yunju Hutong, and just based on this, their life is better than many people.

And this is all thanks to the second child.

After the family agreed, Zhang Shenfei left. Tang Danniu called a meeting of her sons and repeatedly told them not to hang around the courtyard. If possible, they should not show up. When they did show up, they should not talk to anyone and try to reduce their presence as much as possible.

The sons all nodded in agreement.

……

It is said that the people in Siheyuan are very active. One evening a few days after Sha Zhu and Yan Bugui had a quarrel.

Sha Zhu carried his lunch box home from get off work as usual. Before he reached the factory gate, someone from the security department came to greet him.

Chief Zhai of the Security Department said:
"Comrade He Yuzhu, we have received reports from the masses that you stole vegetables and food from the canteen and are suspected of undermining socialism...

Please open your lunch box immediately and cooperate with our investigation."

It was just time to get off work, and the factory gate was bustling with people getting ready to leave.

Seeing this scene, everyone was no longer in a hurry to leave. They immediately gathered around and started talking about it.

As one of the eight chefs and the head chef of a canteen, Sha Zhu was usually arrogant and often offended people.

At this moment, everyone was waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Sha Zhu's face turned pale, and he was still trying to struggle: "I, I didn't, it wasn't me. I..."

"Please open your lunch box." The other party reiterated.

Sha Zhu's face turned pale, and he seemed to know that the inspection today was inevitable. He could only helplessly take out two lunch boxes from his net bag and open one in front of everyone's eyes.

empty……

It’s empty???
Amid the crowd's surprised discussions, Sha Zhu opened another lunch box and found it was also empty.

"How come it's empty?"

"Yes, I heard before that he always brings a lunch box..."

"I guess the news leaked out..."

"The same goes for the security department. Don't they have to make sure there's something in his lunch box before they come to check?"

There was another round of whispers, most of which expressed disappointment and few were happy for Sha Zhu.

But Sha Zhu didn't care and acted honestly: "I told you, I never bring a box lunch."

Chief Zhai of the Security Department looked Sha Zhu up and down, looking deeply into his eyes: "Comrade He Yuzhu, have you really never brought a lunch box?"

"I promise!!!" Sha Zhu said righteously.

"But the report we received said that you have always had the habit of bringing a lunch box, and once said in front of everyone that if the cook doesn't steal, the crops won't be harvested..."

"Slander, this is absolutely slander!!!!" Sha Zhu denied it flatly, "Chief Zhai, I came to the steel mill to take over my father's job. My father worked in our factory for 20 years before. He was very hardworking. He taught me to work hard and not to do anything reckless since I was a child...

I can swear that I have never brought a lunch box since I entered the steel mill. Someone must be jealous of my job as a chef, or has a personal grudge against my family and is deliberately doing something bad..."

Sha Zhu was a chatterbox to begin with, and now that he wasn't caught, his words became as long-winded and boring as an old lady's foot binding, and he kept talking endlessly.

She was still secretly proud of herself. Isn't it said that people become more cunning as they age? The deaf old lady had studied the minds of those people in the courtyard thoroughly.

After he had a fight with Yan Bugui that day and carried the deaf old lady back to the backyard, the old lady told him not to bring lunch boxes in the future.

"My silly boy, you've been targeted. For at least the next six months... no, for the next year, don't bring any leftovers back."

Seeing that he wanted to refute, the deaf old lady immediately frowned:
"If you don't listen to grandma and don't want to work in the steel mill anymore, then you can continue to take care of it!!!
As a cook, if you want to save food for your family, the worst that can happen is that you eat at the factory before getting off work and then come back.

Don’t think I don’t know what you are up to… The Jia family has two working parents, they won’t starve to death without your subsidy!!!”

Sha Zhu's shortcomings were exposed in front of him, and his face, which was not pale to begin with, suddenly turned unnaturally red.

In fact, he also knew that the Jia family lived in good conditions in the Siheyuan. Jia Zhang and Lao Qin both worked and earned salaries, so their life was definitely not the worst in the Siheyuan.

Even now, the Jia family can still guarantee a dry meal every day.

but……

Isn’t that because of Sister Qin?
Everyone says he is stupid, but Shazhu feels that he is not stupid at all. He thinks that he is very smart most of the time.

In fact, he had always understood that Qin Huairu had ignored him before, but she suddenly treated him much better in the past year, all because of Changfan's kindness.

If I can no longer bring lunch boxes back, will Sister Qin still smile at me and help me wash clothes? ? ?

Obviously not, Shazhu is very conflicted.

But he also understood that what the deaf old lady said made sense.

If he lost his job as a chef at the steel mill, he would not be able to bring back leftovers, and even then, Sister Qin would still ignore him.

After figuring it out, Sha Zhu assured the deaf old lady:

"Don't worry, old lady. I know these things. From now on, I will behave myself and will never bring a lunch box again."

Because no evidence was found that Shazhu brought the lunch box, the report was left unresolved.

For this matter,
Yan Bugui, Xu Damao, Xu Fugui, Liu Haizhong, Jia Dongxu, Chen Daye, Guo Dapiezi and others all expressed their disappointment.

But no matter what, Sha Zhu finally escaped danger.

After leaving the factory, he quickly returned to the courtyard, rushed into the backyard, and kicked open the door of Lao Xu's house.

"Xu Damao, you actually dare to report me, I will beat you to death!!!" Before he could finish his words, the fist arrived.

Xu Damao was punched for nothing, and he covered his nose and jumped up and down, yelling, "Silly Zhu! You thief! Don't slander me! I didn't report you!!!"

"Who else could it be if not your grandson?" Sha Zhu didn't believe him at all.

He and Xu Damao have an old grudge. If we were to say who in this courtyard is most likely to report him or trample him to death, it would obviously be Xu Damao.

Xu Damao retorted: "You are not a good person and you have offended so many people. How would I know which one it is?" "You are talking nonsense. The person I offended is you. It must be you who reported me." Sha Zhu identified Xu Damao and raised his fist to hit him again.

Although Xu Damao has a bad mouth, his fighting ability is at the bottom among the people in Siheyuan.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was not going to stop talking, he immediately hid behind his mother and poked his head out to explain: "It's really not me who reported you. I just had a blind date and I'm busy recently. How can I have time to meddle in your business?"

His mother also held up her arms to stop Sha Zhu, and scolded him: "He Yuzhu!! How can you bully others like this? You came to our house to beat people up??? I said it wasn't our Damao who reported you, so it wasn't you!!!"

Xu Fugui also chimed in: "Our Damao is a Level 25 officer and is getting married soon. How can he have time to care about your shit?"

"It really isn't you?" Sha Zhu looked at the three people from the Xu family while panting. After confirming that it was not Xu Damao who reported him, he looked at Uncle Chen in the crowd.

Uncle Chen immediately denied it three times: "Don't look at me, it's not me, I didn't do it!! I just said that that day. I would never do such a thing behind someone's back."

Jia Zhang, who was standing by, laughed: "I believe it's not Old Chen. Isn't there an old saying? Barking dogs don't bite. Old Chen has already barked, so he definitely won't bite you.

The one who bit you must be the dog that didn’t bark.”

have to,
This sentence scolded Lao Chen, Sha Zhu and the whistleblower.

But no one at the scene dared to claim it.

Not only did he fail to find the informant, he also learned that his arch-enemy Xu Damao, who was two years younger than him, had actually found a partner.

As a young woman working in a popular unit like a food factory, Sha Zhu felt as if his heart had been severely hurt.

For a moment, he even wanted to get married directly with Liu Lan to get ahead of Xu Damao.

But after seeing Sister Qin's face, which was obviously much thinner, his heart began to waver again.

If I get married, there will really be no chance for me and Sister Qin...

Sister Qin, Sister Qin!!
"Shazhu, grandpa is having a wedding next month, and I'll ask you to be the chef." Xu Damao deliberately said loudly, "No matter who has a wedding or funeral in our courtyard, we always ask you to be the chef. You can't refuse me."

In his opinion, Sha Zhu was picking up a pair of worn-out shoes that he no longer wanted.

Now that he has married a beautiful female worker from the food factory, crushing Liu Lan, and letting Sha Zhu, a shoe picker, prepare his wedding banquet, isn't this just another slap in Sha Zhu's face???

Sha Zhu obviously saw through his thoughts and snorted, "As long as you pay, I will do it. I say, Xu Damao, what are you going to treat everyone to for your second marriage?"

"It's just vegetarian noodles with soybean paste, what else can you eat..."

Jjajangmyeon!!!

That was good stuff, and everyone onlookers were drooling.

Although each person has to pay three taels of food coupons to attend the wedding banquet, if you work hard, you will definitely make your money back.

At Yenching University, Zhang Shenfei used his lunch break to kill Old Wang without leaving a single trace, and then prepared to return to the dormitory to get some information.

Who knew I would bump into someone head on.

"Yang Baili, it's you? Why are you here?" Zhang Shenfei's eyes widened suddenly.

"What a fresh thing to say. I actually showed up at a university. I must be going to university." Yang Baili was very proud and waved the book in his hand deliberately.

"That's great. You actually passed the exam?" Zhang Shenfei gave him a thumbs up.

I still remember that when I decided to take the college entrance examination, it was I who was inspired by Yang Baili, and I bought the review materials with him.

But after buying the materials, this guy became obsessed with pen drawing every day and devoted himself to becoming an artist. He never even looked through the materials.

Thinking of this,

He was curious about what major Yang Baili was admitted to. After all, Yanjing University did not have a subject called fine arts.

"As for me, I majored in Chinese."

"Isn't this a coincidence? I am also a Chinese major. I didn't expect that a year later, we both got admitted to the same university and studied the same major."

Yang Baili sneered: "Where? You know my level, how can I be admitted to Yanjing University???"

Zhang Shenfei became even more curious and looked at him with raised eyebrows. If he didn't pass the exam, then how did he get here?
"Oh, well, isn't this my uncle? He is a professor in the Chinese Department of our school..." Two Hundred and Eight explained.

In fact, he had always wanted to apply to a fine arts university, and had always applied for that category.

But he had no choice but to bow to his family and go to Yenching University after failing the exams for several years.

"My original intention is not to do this, but my fate is determined by heaven and not by me..."

He shook his head, looking lost and as if he had been teased by fate.

Me, I'm a jerk!!! Zhang Shenfei was speechless and wanted to punch him. Is there anyone as Versailles as you???
Yenching University is the most outstanding institution of higher learning in the country, but in Yang Baili's mouth, it becomes a place that has fallen into depravity out of necessity.

If other students from Yenching University heard this, they would beat this guy up???
Yang Baili had enough of Versailles, and he hugged Zhang Shenfei's neck and laughed:

"Anyway, Dafei, we have successfully met. I heard that you are now the president of the student union of the school. If you have any fun in the future, don't forget me."

"What fun things can I do? I either lead the students to farm or take them out to work and study. Why do you want to do it too???"

"Then there's no need for that." Yang Baili immediately shook his head.

Their family has plenty of food and clothes, why would they want to earn that little money? ? ? ?
It's the weekend again,

Zhang Shenfei got off the bus and just walked to the entrance of Nanluoguxiang when he saw Siyaner and Fatty. They were hiding in a remote alley and waving at him.

He walked over and joked casually: "What's the matter, did you guys do something bad that you have to walk along the wall?"

"Go to hell with you, you're the one who did something wrong." The fat man retorted to him.

"Dafei, look what we brought you." Siyan said and pointed towards the wall.

Only then did Zhang Shenfei notice that there was a sack hidden there, which looked bulging.

"What is this?" He kicked it and felt it. "Food?"

"The Bayi Yimian was brought back from outside the Great Wall during this business trip." Siyaner explained.

Since the second half of last year, the grain trade between Da Fei Ge and the transportation company has been cut off.

Brother Dafei said at the time that it was because they couldn’t get food from the online side.

He thought, there are 13 people in the Zhang family, big and small, and if there is no extra food, won’t they starve?
After I came back from the business trip, I found out that the Zhang family only eats two meals a day. How can this be possible? ? ?

Several people immediately thought about it and gathered together the sack of food.

"Brother Dafei, you guys eat first. When it's not enough, we'll find a way to make it for you."
