“But Brother Li, I really can’t go on Sunday.

You also know that my wife and I have obtained our marriage certificate, and last week we decided to hold a wedding banquet in the courtyard this Sunday!"

"Wow, this is a great joy.

Don't worry, I will go there in person and prepare a generous gift for you."

Deputy Director Li's face immediately broke into a smile.

Regarding his wife's pregnancy, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to thank He Yuzhu.

I'd take this opportunity to prepare some generous gifts.

After leaving Deputy Director Li’s office, the smile on He Yuzhu’s face disappeared instantly.

When he returned to the kitchen, he saw everyone waiting for him with a worried look on their faces, and immediately said with a smile:

"It's okay, don't worry.

I'm really sorry that everyone was fined one dollar.

Don't worry, this is my responsibility and I will help everyone pay the fine.

Deputy Director Li just decided that everyone should work overtime to prepare dinner on Saturday, and then hold a general meeting for the entire factory after dinner."

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, the kitchen exploded:

"What? A factory-wide meeting?"

"This... isn't it just bringing some food? Why is it such a big deal?"

"Humph, if I knew which bastard reported it, I would definitely cut his balls off."

"Okay, it's no big deal. This matter has been exposed and the leaders can't do anything about it. They can only handle it this way.

Everyone, go get busy. I'm fine, and the kitchen will be fine too."

He Yuzhu dispersed a cloud of cigarettes for everyone, and after everyone went about their business, he headed towards the storage room.

Ma Hua followed him and when he saw that there was no one around, he asked in a low voice:

"Master, was it that thief Xiao Pang who did this?"

"Well, how do you know?"

He Yuzhu looked at Ma Hua in surprise, amazed that his brain was so flexible.

"Oh, it was really this thief Sun who did it. I'll go find him now."

When Ma Hua heard this, he became so angry that he turned around and left.

"return."

He Yuzhu grabbed him:

"You are already an adult, but you are still so impulsive when encountering things.

Don't you think about it, would Xiaopang dare to do this alone?"

"Who else?"

Ma Hua's eyes suddenly widened and he turned to look at the busy kitchen workers in front of him.

"Okay, okay, it's not them, it's Qin Huairu and Xu Damao from our hospital.

Don't worry, I will handle this matter myself.

At that time, the whole factory will hold a meeting and invite the three of them to testify."

He Yuzhu patted Ma Hua on the shoulder:

Ma Hua, it is enough for you to have this heart.

Don't dwell on these messy things, the right thing to do is to learn the craft well."

Ma Hua nodded, and then thought of what happened just now:

"But Master, we have fifty or sixty cooks in the kitchen.

One dollar per person is more than one month's salary.

Or I can go talk to everyone and let them pay for it themselves."

"No need, your master, I don't need this little money right now. It's not easy for us to have families to support.

If we really pay this dollar, our family might go hungry next month."

He Yuzhu patted Ma Hua on the shoulder:

"Oh, by the way, there is something I want to tell you.

I will have a banquet in the yard this Sunday, and you have to come and help."

"Hehe, congratulations, Master. Don't worry, I will definitely go over to help."

Ma Hua responded with a smile and then went out to do his work.

After get off work, all the kitchen workers went home with empty lunch boxes.

The few people who met Xiaopang glared at him and spit at him.

When He Yuzhu returned home, he saw the deaf old lady teaching Lou Xiao'e how to cook.

The potato shreds were cut into pieces as small as fingers.

"Hey, Xiao'e, are these shredded potatoes or potato strips?"

"Brother Zhuzi, you're back?"

With a "clang", Lou Xiao'e dropped the kitchen knife in her hand.

He Yuzhu's eyelids twitched:

"Oh, my aunt, please be gentle.

What if it hits your foot by accident? "

"Hehe, I must be gentler next time."

Lou Xiao'e smiled mischievously and poured a glass of water for He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took the water and took a sip, then he noticed that what he was holding was a glass cup, not his enamel pot.

"Hey, did you go shopping in the department store today?"

"No, Uncle Hou happened to be here this morning, and I went home with him and brought it here."

As Lou Xiao'e was talking, she took the washbasin to the faucet in the yard, filled it with water and brought it in for He Yuzhu to wash his face and hands.

"Silly Zhuer, I heard that you were punished in the factory?"

The deaf old lady narrowed her eyes and asked in a deep voice.

In fact, Lou Xiao'e also wanted to ask this, but she didn't know how to start, so she could only worry.

"Well, don't worry about it, grandma. I have a plan in mind."

He Yuzhu turned around and said something, took the towel from Lou Xiaoe, wiped his hands, and began to clean up the potato pieces on the table.

Pick up the kitchen knife, slice the potatoes first, then arrange them and start cutting them into shreds.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump."

The kitchen knife seemed to be born in He Yuzhu's hand and he finished cutting while he was talking.

When soaked in water, they are of uniform thickness, as if each strand had been measured with a ruler.

"I heard from an old lady that someone reported you. Is that true?"

Lou Xiao'e asked as she took out the soaked potato shreds from the enamel basin.

"Well, it's really okay. Deputy Director Li has already talked to me about it, and everyone in the kitchen has been fined one dollar each.

There will be a factory-wide meeting on Saturday, and I will just go and admit my mistake."

He Yuzhu answered casually.

I cut the tomatoes on the table, beat two eggs, and prepared to make tomato and egg soup.

"What? Admit your mistake at the general assembly?"

Lou Xiao'e's face turned pale immediately. Although she had never worked there, she knew how serious the punishment was.

"Boom!"

The deaf old lady tapped the ground fiercely with her cane:

"Did that bastard Xu Damao report you?"

"Hey, old lady, have you become a spirit? You can even tell fortunes?"

He Yuzhu was happy.

"Get lost, old lady, I have something to ask you."

The deaf old lady was very angry and made a self-criticism at the factory meeting?

When men work outside, the most important thing is their face.

How big a mess is Sha Zhuer going to make this time?

"Yes, Xu Damao, Qin Huairu, and a former cooking chef from our kitchen."

He Yuzhu did not hide it and smiled to comfort the old lady:

“But don’t worry, grandma. Not only will I show up at this factory meeting, but the three of them will also show up.

They wanted to accuse me of stealing public property in front of more than 3,000 workers in the East Factory Area.

Xiaopang can testify that I, He Yuzhu, will distribute food to all the kitchen workers after get off work every day.

Xu Damao and Qin Huairu testified that I would bring lunch boxes home every day after get off work. "

"What? What about that fox Qin?"

The deaf old lady became even angrier:

"In the first year since Dongxu's death, every time you brought back a lunch box, it was brought into the Jia family's house."

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady knew she had said the wrong thing, and quickly looked at Lou Xiao'e to explain:

"Xiao'e, don't misunderstand, Sha Zhu'er..."

"Don't worry, grandma. I know what kind of person Brother Zhuzi is. I won't blame him."

Lou Xiao'e hurried to explain.

"Don't worry, I, your old grandmother, will testify for you when the time comes.

The lunch boxes you brought back have all been taken to Jia's house."

The deaf old lady has been strong-willed all her life. Not only in this courtyard, but also in the whole alley, she is a powerful figure.

I immediately decided to make a big fuss about this matter:

Now that my silly grandson has brought shame upon himself, none of you will have an easy time.

The three of them had finished their meal, but before they had even cleaned up the stove, someone from the neighborhood office came over:

"Comrade He Yuzhu, I am Xiao Jiang from the Street Office.

Director Wang asked me to come here, saying that someone in your hospital wants to raise a child.

There is a pair of siblings here, can you please ask them if they want to go over and take a look?"

Xiao Jiang ran very quickly and had a thin layer of sweat on his body when he entered the house.

"Hey, this is good news. Have a drink of water first. I'll go get some help."

He Yuzhu said something and went out to find the old man. Lou Xiaoe quickly poured Xiao Jiang a glass of water.

"Thank you."

Xiao Jiang didn't hesitate and took the water and drank it in big gulps.

After drinking a glass of water, He Yuzhu came over with an old man and an old woman.
