Chapter 26 The Truth of Brushing Thatched Houses and the Incident of Stealing Steamed Buns
Liu Ting is just an ordinary child, she doesn't have the ability to reach the sky, all she can do is work hard and strive to get through the internship period as soon as possible, so that she can get more salary.
Since then, she has gone to work earlier every day at the Office of the Superintendent, in addition to the work within her division, she also helps to pour water and sweep the floor, and the miscellaneous servants of the Office have opinions, but the staff are all feeling better and better, and the adjutant Zhao Yufeng sees it in his eyes and remembers it.
Within a few days, the Office of the Superintendent opened a small canteen, which provided free lunch every day, steamed bread, gruel and rice, and four meat and vegetable dishes, all of which were home-cooked meals, and the portion was enough, which invisibly solved Liu Ting's big trouble, saved a meal every day, and the pressure at home could be reduced a lot.
My father still hasn't found a job, an old pedant like him, he can't lift his hands and shoulders, he can't pick up, except for copywriting, there is really no suitable job, there are two newspapers in the provincial capital, editors and reporters proofread or something, a radish and a pit, how can there be a vacant position, and he can't be a teacher, because his father has a slight stutter and has always been silent, how can he teach children.
The family lacked a fixed income of 12 yuan a month, and immediately became stretched, the mother went to help people wash clothes in exchange for a meager income, and the younger brothers and sisters played crazy in the alley all day long, and no one took care of them.
One day when Liu Ting went home, she saw her father standing on the side of the road with a piece of paper, which said "write a letter to the family", and pedestrians walked in an endless stream in front of him, and he did not solicit business, so he stood silently.
Tears blurred his eyes in an instant.
……
After a few days of rest, Ruan Mingchuan finally regained his spirit and began to formally discuss the matter of starting a newspaper with Chen Zikun.
"It's easy to run a newspaper, but it's actually very rare, just me, that's absolutely impossible, I need a group of qualified reporters, editors, proofreaders, typesetters, printers, as well as logistics, purchasing, accounting, not one of them." Ruan Mingchuan said.
Chan said that this is not a problem, as long as you are willing to spend money, there will be anything.
Ruan Mingchuan said: "It's best to find ready-made ones, temporary training will take time, and if you can't do it, you will poach people from other newspapers." ”
Chen Zikun said: "No problem, there is no suitable person in the provincial capital, so I will borrow someone from Shi Liangcai." ”
Ruan Mingchuan said: "The person who dares to be kind and declares, that's nothing...... Ouch yo"
"What's wrong, Xiao Ruan, do you want to call a doctor?" Chen Zikun said with concern.
Ruan Mingchuan clutched his stomach, with a happy and painful face: "It's okay, eat too much,, your Jiangdong dishes are really delicious, I ate too much braised pork last night, drank some cold water at night, and I always have a bad stomach, but it's okay, I was constipated all day when I was in běijīng, just to clear my stomach, I'm sorry, I have to go to the thatched house." ”
Chen Zikun said: "Can you hold on, or will I help you go?" ”
"I don't dare to work hard for you." Ruan Mingchuan covered his stomach and walked out, the thatched house was in the courtyard of the Governor's Office, it was cleaned very clean, Reporter Ruan found a squatting pit and squatted down, releasing the pressure of the intestines, fluttering yù fairy, and suddenly heard someone talking outside.
"Brother Zheng, why are you still doing it here, you are a graduate of Jiaotong University, and the surname Chen will let you brush the thatched house, is this not an obvious attempt to humiliate you!"
"Mai Ping, I have to endure humiliation, this is my duty and task."
"He just doesn't want us, deliberately used this trick to force us to go, don't be fooled, even if your thatched house is clean, it's useless, he will come up with other ways, and Liu Ting, a talented girl in the Chinese Department of Jiang University, dealing with the pile of old papers all day, it's just nonsense, I see that someone is a drunkard who doesn't mean to drink."
"Mai Ping, your temper is too impulsive, this is not good, you go, I will stay anyway."
"Well said and ambitious." There was a sound in the thatched house, Zheng Zeru and Mai Ping looked at each other, and then saw a man with a full style coming out of it with a cigarette in his mouth and a belt.
"Two boys, it's not a shame to brush the thatched house, do you know, what did Chen Kunwu do in běijīng before?" The man was full of spirit, and he looked like he was teaching people.
"Cut, isn't it just pulling a foreign car?" Mai Ping said disdainfully.
Zheng Zeru found that this person called Chen Supervisor, it seemed that he was a close person, and he had a Beijing accent, so he must be an old acquaintance.
"Could it be that the superintendent brushed the thatched house?" Zheng Zeru asked.
"The kid is really smart, a little bit thorough, you are the Chen Supervisor, that is not an idle person, the three religions and nine streams all know, the dung king of the capital Yu Deshun and he is a lifelong friendship, the two got acquainted, it originated from the dispute over the hut toilet...... You Chen Supervisor, a dung spoon, a wicker basket, dig out the thatched toilet of the whole street, is that a joke, now you brush a thatched house, and the stomach is full of sāo, shame is not ashamed. ”
Ruan Mingchuan glanced at the two of them triumphantly, and then turned to Chunchun's teaching: "Young man, Supervisor Chen is not a warlord who can't read a single word, he is a Confucian general who has drunk foreign ink and received traditional education, his foundation in Chinese is thick, Liu Shipei's closed disciple, is it a joke?" The heavens will descend on the Si people, and they must first suffer their minds, starve their bodies and skins, and work their muscles and bones. ”
After that, Ruan Mingchuan shook his head and went.
Mai Ping blinked: "Brother Zheng, what he said is true?" ”
"What do you say?" Zheng Zeru asked with a smile, picked up a broom and a bucket and went into the thatched house.
Mai Ping thought for a moment, picked up a shovel and walked in.
……
Since Zhao Yufeng served as Chen Zikun's adjutant director, Xiao Rìzi has lived a very nourishing life, and the second lieutenant quartermaster of the Third Division of the Beiyang Army has now been promoted to colonel with the marshal, and he can handle a lot of things in the office.
was sitting and drinking tea in the signing room, and suddenly heard a noise in the corridor, and the sister-in-law of the canteen Wang came in noisily, put a bag of steamed buns on the table, and said, "Adjutant Zhao, someone is stealing steamed buns." ”
Zhao Yufeng hurriedly said: "Whoever is so bold and steals into the canteen of the office must be dealt with strictly!" ”
Wang's sister-in-law's identity is not simple, she is Wang Degui's daughter-in-law, Wang Degui is the head of the horse beside the handsome, no one dares to offend this evil mother-in-law in the entire public office, even Zhao Yufeng is polite when he sees her.
Sister-in-law Wang raised her eyebrows: "It's the little girl in the secretariat, who looks like Si Sven, is actually a thief, she wants to take it for nothing after eating and drinking for nothing, how can there be such a good thing in the world." ”
Oh...... It's Miss Liu...... Ahem, this, ah, sister-in-law Wang, you go back first, I'll deal with it. When Zhao Yufeng heard that Liu Ting did it, he immediately became a bodhisattva with low eyebrows.
"I'm waiting for your letter." Sister-in-law Wang patted her ass and left.
Zhao Yufeng hurriedly carried the steamed buns and flew to report to Chen Zikun, and after the superintendent heard about it, he said: "Liu Ting stole the steamed buns, there must be a hardship, you go and find out, the staff of the superintendent office have difficulties in life, and we can't sit idly by." ”
"Dashuai, leave this matter to me." Zhao Yufeng came to the secretariat upside down, Liu Ting sat in it with a pale face, her hands stirring the corners of her clothes, biting her lip tightly, and several staff members whispered and pointed beside her.
Zhao Yufeng pushed the others apart, and asked Yan Yuesè: "Secretary Liu, don't be afraid, isn't it just a matter of a few steamed buns, just say it, why do you want to take the steamed buns from the canteen, you can't open the pot at home?" ”
Liu Ting said in a hoarse voice: "I took it, I have nothing to say." As soon as I closed my eyes, two strings of tears slipped down.
Zhao Yufeng said in his heart that the little girl is quite tough, didn't I give you the stairs, why don't you accept it, so I had to say again: "Dashuai said, the staff has difficulties in life, we can't care about it, you can just say it directly." ”
Liu Ting's already desperate heart suddenly lit up with a light of hope, and said: "Yes, my family has a large population, my father is unemployed, and my younger siblings are hungry all day long, so I took a few." ”
Zhao Yufeng casually rummaged through the steamed buns in the bag, and found that there was mold on them, and he understood in his heart that the cooking in the canteen of the Independent Office was rationed according to the number of heads, but none of those senior officers went to the canteen to eat, and there were many leftovers every day, all of which were treated as swill, and Liu Ting took not the steamed buns in the canteen, but in the swill bucket.
"It's a trivial matter, don't take it to heart, I'll talk to Sister-in-law Wang when I go back, and let her apologize to you." Zhao Yufeng turned around and went out, and a bunch of people in the corridor were gossiping:
"Director Zhao, don't dismiss Xiao Liu, this kid is very well-behaved."
"Secretary Liu's family is in difficulty, what about the five younger siblings, it is the time when the body is growing, and she is hungry and screaming all day long, when her sister is confused for a while, you can spare her this time."
Zhao Yufeng smiled helplessly: "Rank, I'm so unkind?" Secretary Liu is a filial daughter, and I am not hard-hearted, don't mention this matter, the handsome man has an order, and the staff family is in difficulty, so we can't sit idly by. ”
Everyone smiled understandingly, the handsome man took pity on the jade, and Director Zhao was kind-hearted, so he didn't have to worry about Liu Ting being fired.
However, the thief incident is not good after all, Zhao Yufeng found Sister-in-law Wang and told Liu Ting about the situation at home, and Sister-in-law Wang slapped her mouth with remorse.
"I owe it to this mouth! No, I have to apologize. ”
Through the mediation of Zhao Yufeng, the steamed bun incident was successfully resolved, but another order of the superintendent has not yet been implemented, Secretary Liu's family is in difficulty, and the Office has to come up with a relief plan.
After careful consideration, Zhao Yufeng came to the handsome signing room, saluted in, and said: "Dashuai, Miss Liu Ting, a clerk in the archives section of the office secretariat, has been verified that there are many younger brothers and sisters in the family, and my father is unemployed, which is really difficult. ”
Chen Zikun said: "Approval, you can do it." ”
Zhao Yufeng didn't leave, and said, "Dashuai, you have to go out in person for this matter." ”
Chen Zikunqi said: "Condolences to the clerk's family, I have to go to this kind of trivial matter in person?" So what do you want you to do? ”
Zhao Yufeng said: "The marshal's words are wrong, it is related to the life of his subordinates, it can be big or small, if the marshal can come to condole, it is not only the heart of Secretary Liu's family, but also our office will thank you for your care." ”
At the same time, he secretly said in his heart: Handsome, I, Zhao Yufeng, have worked hard to create opportunities for you, you can just put up a shelf a little, but don't really go, Miss Liu is waiting with her eyes open.
Chen Zikun has been thinking about running a newspaper in the past few days, and it is really not as long-term as Zhao Yufeng has thought about, the two wives in the family are not fuel-efficient lamps, and there is a Lin Wenjing whose life and death are uncertain, the domestic beacon smoke is everywhere, and the Guangdong Northern Expeditionary Army has conquered Hunan, and he has no heart to accept his aunt's wife at this juncture.
However, Zhao Yufeng's words made his heart move, wasn't Liu Ting's father a proofreader of the Jiangdong Times.
"What did you say just now, Secretary Liu's father is unemployed?"
"Back to Dashuai, I heard that he is unemployed, otherwise according to Secretary Liu's thin skin, how can he go to get the steamed buns in the swill bucket, Secretary Liu is really filial." Zhao Yufeng said with emotion.
"Okay, I'll go myself." Chan said.
