Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

Seeing his daughter's overjoyed expression, Pei Guang laughed too.

Zhao Maimai at the door was smiling, her eyes full of charm that seemed to be able to overflow with tears.

"Dong dong dong!" There was a knock on the door.

After Zhang Xiaofan entered the house, he directly stated his purpose.

Two months passed, and just as Pei Guang had said, the three pounds of flour that he had lent out had fallen into oblivion.

Originally, these things were not worth mentioning to him, and he would not feel sad even if he lost them.

The Jia family consists of orphans and a widow, and it is not easy to support the whole family with Qin Huairu's salary of 27 yuan.

If a person does not keep his word, it is tantamount to asking others to break their trust in him.

He pays more attention to the trust given.

After being reminded several times, Qin Huairu always cried and complained about the difficulties at home, hoping for more time.

Then I saw his pitiful look and made him surrender.

Just now, Qin Huairu clearly stated that she was unable to repay the debt and proposed the method of paying off the debt with work.

"Xiao Fan, you are a grown man and you can't even wash your clothes properly, and there is no one to clean up the house."

"Leave these to me in the future, so you don't have to worry about it."

Damn it! Is this what a normal woman would say? What is Qin Huairu's intention?

If a widow washes clothes for a single young man, will he still have a good reputation?

In desperation, he simply gave up the idea of ​​asking for it.

Every failure is a learning experience. Just think of it as paying for a lesson.

Recalling Pei Guang's assertion, he suddenly realized.

A widow is inherently immoral.

How dare they take advantage of him!

Thinking of this, he felt more and more uncomfortable, and subconsciously wanted to hear Pei Guang's thoughts.

Pei Guang smiled happily, and he was a smart and clear-headed man.

"In my opinion, you should either turn against Qin Huairu completely or take the things back directly."

"Or just keep quiet and treat it as a dog bite."

"Thirdly... you go find Yi Zhonghai, and so on..."

Zhang Xiaofan simply skipped the first two ideas. There was no need to make the relationship between neighbors so strained.

As for the third point...he was a little confused.

Seeing Pei Guang's secretive look, he gritted his teeth and ran straight to the central courtyard.

Zhao Maimai patted the man in disapproval, "Brother Guang, you can come up with such a mean idea."

"Yi Zhonghai was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven."

Pei Guang smirked: "Hehe! Doesn't he call himself a moral gentleman?"

"Since it's not easy for an orphan and a widow, let him pay the money. It's just a change of creditor. It doesn't matter who you owe it to."

Not long after, Zhang Xiaofan came running over to report the good news, looking refreshed.

The three pounds of flour and five dollars that were lent were returned in full.

"Brother Guang, I have finally seen through Yi Zhonghai today."

"You said so righteously before, asking me not to bother with the Jia family. But when I asked him to advance the money, you saw his face turned as black as coal."

"It seems that the problem is not his fault, so it's easy for him to talk without any pain in his waist."

Great! There is now a like-minded person in the hospital.

When Pei Guang thought of Yi Zhonghai's reluctance to pay, he inexplicably wanted to laugh.

"Hahaha!"

At this time, Zhang Xiaofan didn't understand Pei Guang's intention. One should not judge things by appearances alone, as there are many hidden dangers in the courtyard.

......

The next morning, the rain was dripping, washing everything in the world. The sound of the dripping rain was like a beautiful melody, lingering, revealing a kind of flexibility, calmness and composure.

Walking on the muddy road, the rain and fog blurred my vision, and there was a vague feeling of turbidity.

As soon as he arrived at the kitchen, Li Huaide's secretary came over and asked him to go to the office.

Oh! A magpie came to the door in the morning, maybe good things are coming.

Pei Guang raised his eyebrows and followed slowly.

Gee!

As soon as I entered the door, a strong smell of cigarette smoke hit me in the face.

I saw Li Huaide and Liang Weimin sitting opposite each other on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, looking so comfortable!

"Little Pei is here, come, come, sit next to me." Li Huaide patted the seat next to him and motioned Pei Guang to sit down.

After spending such a long time together, everyone knows each other well and the usual small talk is automatically skipped.

"Xiao Pei, the factory expansion will be completed in a while, and some positions will need to be adjusted."

"I intend to let you take over the position of canteen director. Tell me what you think."

Pei Guangmin was stunned at first, then he glanced at Liang Weimin, who looked calm, and felt relieved.

"Director, Director Liang..."

Li Huaide waved his hand and said, "Weimin will be promoted to the director of logistics. You don't need to feel any burden about this."

Pei Guangyi said: "Since the factory director trusts me, I am willing to work hard for the factory."

“I believe that under your and Director Liang’s guidance, the canteen will steadily improve and reach a new level.”

It's just a casual affair, buddy, I know it all.

The canteen director is equivalent to an administrative level 20 cadre, with a monthly salary of 70 yuan, eight yuan more than before.

Although the treatment is not much different, the power is very different.

What's more, he was originally just a deputy director in a nominal capacity and had no real power.

"Okay, okay! I was right about you." Li Huaide patted his shoulder happily.

"During this period of time, you should learn from Weimin and familiarize yourself with the operation process of the cafeteria."

"Okay! I promise to complete the task."

......

Chapter 161 Being teased

If youth is a beautiful rainbow, then self-confidence is its brilliant color.

Pei Guang's confident look and the radiance he exudes give people an inexplicable sense of reliability.

Don’t ask for merit, but ask for no faults!

Li Huaide believed that the canteen would not be in trouble in the hands of such people.

After encouraging Pei Guang a few words, he let the two of them go out first.

After leaving the office, Pei Guang smiled and said, "Director, congratulations, you've been promoted again."

Liang Weimin grinned, and perhaps because of his age, a few wrinkles appeared on his round face.

Youth never disappoints anyone!

"Haha! Xiao Pei, you are really awesome."

"When I was your age, I didn't even know where I was."

"The waves behind push the waves in front forward, and each wave is stronger than the last. From now on, the world will belong to you young people." Liang Weimin was quite emotional.

"Hey! From what you said, I, as a younger generation, am just enjoying the happiness that my predecessors overcame."

The two walked and talked, discussing the daily work of the canteen director.

At the same time, Pei Guang learned that the production task of the steel mill needed to be increased at the request of the superior leaders. Once the food supply was restored, the factory would launch a large-scale recruitment.

Two more canteens will be added and the canteen staff team will be further expanded.

Uh... Pei Guang was stunned.

If I remember correctly, the difficult period ended in early 62. Perhaps the superiors had some considerations.

Just make the best of it. If the sky falls, there will always be tall people to hold it up.

It has been a while since I last visited the old man. After get off work, Pei Guang took his wife and children to the Zhao family.

I saw the old man sitting on a small bench at the door, chatting with the neighbor.

The neighbor noticed the visitor and pursed his lips and said, "Old Zhao, Mai Mai and your grandson-in-law are here to see you."

Wow! Lots of bags, really generous.

They say a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, but why is it a different story here?

When I thought about the fact that my daughter only came twice a year, my heart became gloomy, as if the sky had lost its color.

The old man tilted his head and was immediately delighted.

"Hey! My great-grandson is here, come and give your great-grandfather a hug."

The old man held little Jiaze in his arms, and the smile on his face never stopped.

"Haha! I haven't seen you for a while. You've gained a lot of weight."

Little Jiaze was not shy at all. He looked straight at his great-grandfather with eyes that revealed the purity that only children can have.

The soft hands that never grab anything and the smile that heals the heart simply made the old man fall in love with her.

This is so rare!

Grandpa Zhao: "Maimai, Xiaoguang, if you have nothing to do tonight, please stay for dinner."

Zhao Maimai nodded and agreed, "Grandpa, how have you been recently?"

"It's great, everything tastes delicious!"

Ever since his grandson got a formal job and his hands were stiff, he completely gave up his job as a bamboo craftsman.

After a lifetime of hard work, I finally live a peaceful life in my old age.

Now I chat and play chess with my neighbors every day, without any worries.

His mental outlook was refreshed, he walked with vigor and energy, and looked ten years younger.

After Zhao Guangming prepared the food, he looked at its shape, smelled its fragrance and tasted its flavor, and found that his knife skills and cooking skills had improved greatly compared to before.

Although he has only been in the industry for more than half a year, he has already gained some proficiency in cooking.

Pei Guang nodded with satisfaction. "Guangming, I will give you more opportunities to practice in the cafeteria in the future. You should practice the big pot dishes first."

"There will be changes in the cafeteria in a while, and I will try to get the position of chef then."

Zhao Guangming was shocked. The news was too sudden and there was no news of it before.

Seeing that my brother-in-law didn't intend to say more, it was undoubtedly inside information.

Opportunities are rare and will never come back, so I decided to put all my effort into it right away.

Zhao Maimai asked worriedly, "Brother Guang, does this change affect you?"

"There is an impact, but it's a good thing. You'll know when the time comes." Pei Guang smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything more.

Grandpa Zhao was an old and experienced man, and perhaps he had noticed something, so he smiled meaningfully.

......

On the street, Pei Liyun and He Yushui were riding their bicycles at full speed, looking back from time to time, as if there was some ferocious beast chasing them from behind.
