Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

He didn't think Pei Guang was forcing himself to take the lead. No one would dare to go to Liangshan without some experience. If he messed up the leader's instructions, no one could predict the consequences.

Pei Guang pounded his chest and said confidently: "Director, please rest assured that I will be responsible for this task. I will ensure that the leaders will have good food and drink!"

Liang Weimin patted his shoulder and said, "Master Pei, I'll leave it to you. If the leader is satisfied, I can apply for a promotion for you."

"Okay! Just watch me perform!"

Then Liang Weimin had some food delivered, gave some instructions, and left in a hurry.

Sha Zhu looked at Pei Guang with resentment. How come he knows how to cook Sichuan cuisine? Isn't it my turn to show off?

"Oh my god! This kid is here to defeat me!"

Pei Guangke was unaware of the roar in his heart and began to speed up his hands.

After preparing the staff meal, I looked at the wall clock and realized it was almost time to start cooking.

He "took out" several seasonings from the system reward from his bag and placed them in front of the stove. This was his chance to become famous, so he had to strive for victory.

This scene was naturally reflected in the eyes of others, and their eyes widened. It turned out that Pei Guang was carrying seasonings with him.

"Stop watching and do what you need to do!" Pei Guangda shouted.

The others dispersed when they heard this. Of course, they would not let others learn their eating skills secretly.

After scanning the ingredients, several dishes came to my mind: Mapo Tofu, Kung Pao Chicken, Twice-Cooked Pork, Stir-Fried Green Beans, and Pea Sprouts and Mushroom Soup.

Half an hour later, everything was ready and the dishes were brought into the reception room of the third canteen one by one.

As soon as several leaders walked into the private room, the fragrant aroma of food hit them in the face and they swallowed subconsciously.

The leading man said, "It seems that there are hidden talents in the steel mill. I am lucky to have a good meal today."

Director Yang and Deputy Director Li who were accompanying them were delighted, thinking that if the leader was satisfied with the new equipment, there would be no problem.

After the four of them sat down, Director Yang asked everyone to start eating.

The leading man picked up a piece of Mapo Tofu and tasted it. It was tender, fragrant and delicious, leaving a long aftertaste.

"Since I came to Sijiucheng, I haven't eaten such authentic Sichuan cuisine in several years!"

Li Huaide was also amazed after taking a bite. He had listened to Liang Weimin's report before and had naturally heard of Pei Guang's name, but he didn't expect that he was such a good cook.

"As long as it suits the leader's taste, you are welcome to come to our factory to inspect our work at any time."

The leader nodded and said, "It seems that the Third Steel Rolling Mill is very confident and has done a good job. I hope it can continue to maintain this momentum."

Director Yang was very happy. This was an affirmation of their work attitude by the leader. It seemed that the new equipment would be delivered soon.

Through this meal, Li Huaide began to value Pei Guang's talent. Although he had heard about Pei Guang's cooking skills before, he only knew about big pot dishes and never took them seriously.

Now it seems that he was short-sighted and could not recognize the value of gold and jade.

Fortunately, it is not too late to recruit now. After all, he has his own network of contacts to manage. He runs the most small kitchens in the cafeteria, so naturally he needs a chef like Pei Guang.

After seeing the leader off, he found Liang Weimin to learn about Pei Guang's details.

He has a clean family background and is a smart person. He is indeed a talented person who can be won over!

"Well, ask him to come to my office and I'll talk to him in person."

Liang Weimin marveled at the boy's good luck, as he got the attention of his leader just by having a meal.

Pei Guang had some guesses when he received the notice. It seemed that his efforts were worthwhile as he finally attracted the attention of his leader.

"Master Pei, I have said a lot of good things in front of Deputy Director Li. Now it depends on your performance." Liang Weimin's words were meaningful.

When drinking water, one should remember the person who dug the well. Pei Guang naturally understood what Liang Weimin meant.

Society is a big melting pot, and some human relationships are inevitable.

"Director, you can just call me Xiao Pei."

“I will always remember this feeling in my heart!”

Liang Weimin smiled slightly and knew that this boy was a smart man!

Chapter 28 Sun Dahu Comes to See You

Walking under the scorching sun with a temperature of over 30 degrees Celsius feels like it will burn you to death.

As you enter the office building, a cool breeze blows across your heart, refreshing your mind.

"It's really terrible this year. It hasn't rained for several days." Liang Weimin complained.

He does not mean that!

Pei Guang's heart skipped a beat. Could this be a sign of the beginning of difficult times? It seemed he had to store some food first.

I came to Li Huaide's office with a heavy heart. A smell of cigarette smoke hit me in the face. Looking around, I saw a figure puffing out smoke in front of the window.

Li Huaide looked back and forced a smile on his face.

"You must be Comrade Pei Guang, you are indeed a handsome man."

"Hello Director Li, I'm Pei Guang."

Pei Guang noticed his bright forehead and high hairline at a glance, which was particularly conspicuous. It seemed that he worked hard on a daily basis.

He looks less than 40 years old but holds a high position. The connections behind him are obvious.

Li Huaide asked him to sit opposite him on the sofa, and began to chat about family matters, paying attention to his every move.

He behaves politely, completely different from those rough guys.

This was Pei Guang's first impression on him.

"Xiao Pei, I didn't expect you to have such great skills at such a young age. It seems you have put in a lot of effort every day."

Pei Guang smiled faintly, "I have to thank the leaders for giving me the opportunity, so that I can have the skills I have today."

Li Huaide nodded and chuckled, "I have always valued talents, and I hope you can continue to work hard and strive to make more contributions to the factory.

"Please rest assured, Director. I will definitely follow your steps and keep pace with the times."

Logistics is Li Huaide's world, and if not now, when will he show his ability?

"Haha! Okay, then I'll see how you perform."

Li Huaide was very satisfied with his attitude. He was smart and talented, and was worthy of intensive training.

Then he took out a handful of bills from his pocket and said, "Xiao Pei, you have made great contributions to the factory today. These food and meat coupons are a reward for you."

Pei Guang naturally would not refuse the olive branch extended by his leader.

After seeing him accept it, Li Huaide smiled, "Xiao Pei, then you go and get busy first. Help me call Director Liang in."

"Okay, then I won't bother the factory manager anymore."

After Pei Guang went out to call Liang Weimin, he went straight back to the cafeteria.

On the way, I recalled my performance just now. It should be pretty good. It seems that promotion and salary increase are just around the corner.

I took out the receipts I had just received. Wow! Ten kilograms of grain coupons and two kilograms of meat coupons. The leader's move was extraordinary.

Doesn’t this prove that the leader is very satisfied with him?

Back in the kitchen, Sun Shaokang was exercising his arm strength with a small pot. From his movements, one could tell that he had made considerable progress during this period.

Seeing his cheerful face, Sun Shaokang thought of the director's previous visit and thought that something good must be happening.

But he is not a gossipy person, and he would not ask more questions unless Brother Guang said anything.

At this moment, Liu Lan suddenly ran in from outside, "Master Pei, the child seems to be sick and keeps crying. I want to take him to the hospital."

"Go ahead, there's nothing to do in the kitchen!"

"Thank you!" Liu Lan said as she ran outside in a hurry.

"Alas! It's not easy for Liu Lan either." Pei Guang sighed.

Sun Shaokang nodded. During this period of time, everyone has learned that Liu Lan is an unreliable man and the whole family depends on her for support. It can only be said that it is fate!

......

When I walked to the factory gate after get off work, I saw Sun Dahu looking around, looking very anxious.

"Da Hu, what are you doing here?"

Sun Dahu was delighted when he saw the man coming, and begged, "Brother Guang, can you lend me thirty yuan?"

Pei Guang was stunned for a moment. "I can borrow money, but tell me what you need it for first."

Sun Dahu quickly recounted what had happened. It turned out that his grandmother accidentally broke her leg when she went out in the afternoon, and now she was still short of 30 yuan for medical treatment.

You have to know that thirty yuan is his three months' income. The family didn't have much money to begin with, and this made the situation even worse.

With so many people in the yard, the first person he thought of was Pei Guang, his enthusiastic neighbor.

Pei Guang was just about to take out the money when he saw Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu coming up, and an idea came to his mind.

Doesn’t Yi Zhonghai like moral blackmail? Let him have a taste of it this time!

"Wow! I'm such a genius!"

"Uncle, Da Hu's grandmother broke her leg and needs thirty yuan for treatment. I don't have enough money on me. Can you lend me some?"

Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a while. Considering Sun Dahu's family situation, it would be difficult to get the money back if he borrowed it. But it would be wrong not to lend it to him, after all, they were all neighbors.

"Da Hu, I don't have any money on me, how about I go home and get you some?"

Sun Dahu was so moved that his eyes turned red. A friend in need is a friend indeed. He is worthy of being the elder in the hospital.

Pei Guang thought for a while and suggested: "Uncle, you also know that Dahu's family is not well off. I think we can hold a meeting of the whole courtyard and call on the neighbors to donate money to help their family."

Yi Zhonghai looked very embarrassed. Everyone was having a hard time right now, and his neighbors would surely hate him for organizing this donation meeting.

He was not very willing to lend him the money, as it was obvious that it was a one-way deal.

Pei Guang laughed secretly in his heart, having already guessed what he was thinking.

"Uncle, this donation can be made on a voluntary basis. It all depends on your heart."

"Besides, our hospital's reputation will also be good if it gets out, and it will also be good for being selected as an advanced hospital at the end of the year."

"I think a kind-hearted person like the eldest uncle will definitely not sit idly by."

Pei Guang gave himself full marks for his operation, combining both strength and flexibility.

After a few words, Yi Zhonghai was in a dilemma. He was a man who cared about his reputation, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay, let's go back and hold a meeting of the whole institute."

Sun Dahu was very happy to hear this. Now his grandmother's medical expenses were solved. He was even more grateful to Brother Guang for coming up with such a good idea.

After they returned to the compound, Pei Guang and Sun Dahu went door to door to notify everyone of the meeting, while Yi Zhonghai went to discuss it with Liu Haizhong.

After explaining the benefits of donating, the two hit it off.

As for why we didn’t look for Yan Fugui, we are not on the same level.

...........

Soon, everyone gathered in the middle courtyard.

There was an octagonal table in the center of the yard. Yi Zhonghai sat in the center, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui sat on his left and right sides, and there was a plate of melon seeds in the middle.

There was a stool in front of the table, on which sat the two brothers Sun Dahu, and there was a small box beside them.

The neighbors gathered in groups of three or four, some standing and some sitting, and they would talk from time to time.

Liang Ladi held Xiu'er and looked around. She had been living in the dormitory of the machine repair factory before. This was her first time to attend a college-wide meeting. It felt quite novel.

Chapter 29 Donation Conference

Liu Haizhong was the first to stand up and speak, "Everyone knows that the Sun family in our courtyard has not had a good time. Dahu doesn't have a formal job, and it's not easy to support a family of three."

"Unfortunately, his grandmother broke her leg when she went out this afternoon and now she can't afford the medical expenses. I discussed it with the uncle and decided to hold a meeting of the whole hospital to discuss the issue of assistance. Now, please let the uncle speak."

After hearing the discussion, the neighbors looked at Sun Dahu with sympathy in their eyes.

The family was already poor, and now this kind of thing has happened. It's really a sin!

Yi Zhonghai stood up and said solemnly: "As the old saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid."
