Zhu Xiaohua had an innocent expression on his face and said, "Wronged, they fight, what does it matter to me." I was urging the master to make two more pots of pork and cabbage in the cafeteria. Both Xiao Ding and the canteen master can testify. ”

Xiao Ding patted his chest and said: "I dare to use my own head to guarantee that it is definitely not Brother Zhu, I saw with my own eyes that Zhang Qing and Zhang Yang followed up the dormitory to grab meat." We were still urging the chef in the cafeteria to hurry up and stir-fry the meat. ”

The guard turned his questioning gaze to Wu Zhi and asked, "It was Zhu Xiaohua who instructed you, right?" ”

Wu Zhi said: "Sir, your imagination is so rich. A few of us accidentally bumped into each other because of grabbing meat, how can we all think of Zhu Xiaohua? ”

The guard turned to Zhang Qing and Zhang Yang, and said, "They deliberately beat you both, right?" ”

The two brothers, Zhang Qing and Zhang Yang, stroked the corners of their mouths and faces that had been swollen, but they just shook their heads, not daring to say anything. The two also knew that most of the beatings by these people were related to their report on Zhu Xiaohua burning bricks, but they couldn't produce any evidence.

At this time, Captain Xiao walked out with a spring breeze on his face and said, "Okay, this matter is here." I have good news to tell you that our superiors have given us special permission to make bricks in a nearby kiln. Everyone works hard and works hard to generate income, and there will be no fights in the future for grabbing this bit of meat to eat. ”

In the courtyard, more than forty people were greatly encouraged when they heard Captain Xiao's words.

Zhu Xiaohua was also in high spirits, and the gloomy mood of the past few days was swept away.

The two brothers, Zhang Qing and Zhang Yang, were depressed, thinking to themselves, we were beaten today, not because we grabbed meat to eat. slandered the two of us for grabbing meat and fighting with others, and when we went out later, what face did we have to see my father and fellow villagers?

Captain Xiao walked over, patted Zhu Xiaohua on the shoulder and said, "The matter of the brick kiln in Luoshui Village is over, there is no problem for us to do this, and the superiors have approved it." Next, I'll leave it to you, and these forty-odd people will also be handed over to you, you let go of your hands and feet. ”

Zhu Xiaohua excitedly shook Captain Xiao's hand and said, "Thank you." ”

Captain Xiao whispered in his ear: "Don't talk about outsiders, I still expect to be promoted by your performance." So, don't let me down. ”

At this time, two large pots of steaming pork cabbage were brought out of the cafeteria.

Captain Xiao frowned and said, "There are more than forty people here, how can this order be enough." Notify the canteen, add two more pots, and the steamed buns are enough. ”

Everyone was grateful to Captain Xiao and immediately applauded.

Two pots of pork and cabbage were served, one for men and one for women. Everyone rushed up.

Captain Xiao said to Zhang Qing, Zhang Yang and the other five people who were standing: "Why are you stunned, go back to your desk." ”

Zhang Qing and Zhang Yang covered their swollen faces and returned to the table where the men were. Seeing that everyone was eating very deliciously, he also picked up chopsticks, grabbed the meat and put it in his mouth. As soon as the hot meat approached his lips, Zhang Qing screamed "oops" and reached out to cover his mouth.

Chopsticks and meat fell onto the table.

"Don't waste if you don't eat!" Some people complained.

"That's right, didn't you fight to the death just now just to eat meat, what's wrong with it now?"

Zhang Qing pointed to his red and swollen lips and spat out a few words in a hesitant and indistinct manner.

No one heard clearly, and someone turned their ears to listen to him.

Someone asked curiously, "What did he say?" ”

The man in front of him thought for a long time before he replied, "He said it...... Mouth hurts! ”

Looking at his lips again, they were already swollen. Apparently, he was beaten up in a fight with Wu Zhi and others just now.

Zhang Yang also picked up the meat and tasted it a few times, but every time he opened his mouth, the pain was unbearable, and finally he had to put the meat back in the bowl and put down the chopsticks.

The two of them blushed and swelled, and watched everyone eat meat in large pieces, swallowing saliva so greedily, but they couldn't bear it.

Both of them glared at Wu Zhi with hatred.

Zhu Xiaohua held back his laughter across the table, and deliberately said: "There is only one chance to add food today, if you two don't eat, you won't have such a good meal in the future." ”

Wu Zhi ate a large piece of meat and said, "That is, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again." Expiration does not wait. ”

The others were busy eating, and glanced at the two brothers, seeing that their faces were swollen like buns, and laughed and thought, they don't eat, just two less to grab with us.

Tang Yimin, who was squatting in the corner just now, also came over, took a large piece of food and put it in Zhu Xiaohua's bowl, and said, "Brother Zhu, they don't eat, we can just eat more." ”

"It's rare to eat meat back in a year, and the two brothers are really unlucky when they are beaten in the mouth on the day they eat meat."

Tang Yimin added another sentence.

Early the next morning, Zhu Xiaohua led everyone to the brick kiln in Luoshui Village and found that the brick kiln was emitting green smoke. Someone is burning bricks.

In the open space in front of the brick kiln, the long wall of yellow mud bricks is missing by more than half.

It was a brick that they had made at the time, and they had not yet had time to fire, and it was inexplicably missing.

Wu Zhi shouted: "Brother Zhu, our bricks have been stolen. ”

Others also gathered around to inspect and found that there was indeed a lot less bricks. Of the 200-meter-long walls, less than 100 meters remained.

Some of the bricks were scattered on the ground, and everyone bent down to pick them up.

Only the two brothers, Zhang Qing and Zhang Yang, covered their swollen faces and stood aside, not participating in labor.

Zhu Xiaohua remembered that the task of repairing the latrine had not yet been completed.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "I remember, since I don't want to burn bricks, you two go back and continue to repair the latrine." It must be completed within five days. ”

Zhang Qing opened his mouth and said two words, but everyone didn't hear a word.

Zhang Yang also said two sentences, which were also vague.

The mouths of these two men are more swollen today.

Zhu Xiaohua didn't bother to care what they said, these two people would only ruin the good thing of burning bricks when they were with the collective. I simply sent them back.

Although the reports of these two people have so far been almost completely ineffective.

But he didn't want to be reported a second time by these two men.

Seeing the two brothers holding half of their swollen faces and returning to the farm under the escort of plainclothes guards, the other prisoners subconsciously shrank their necks.

I thought to myself, this Brother Zhu revenge is not soft-hearted at all, and directly beat the Zhang brothers so that they can't speak.

They seemed to see Brother Huo's shadow, fearful of Zhu Xiaohua, and unconsciously stayed away from him. When Zhu Xiaohua assigned tasks, they were as gentle as little sheep, obedient to their words, and never asked more.

Zhu Xiaohua and Wu Zhi saw the fear of these people.

Zhu Xiaohua wanted to explain that the two Zhang brothers who were beaten for eating meat had nothing to do with him, but after thinking about it, even if he explained, no one would believe it.

He smiled helplessly.

Wu Zhi saw Zhu Xiaohua's thoughts, and whispered: "Don't explain, as the boss here, the more fierce you are, the worse you are, and the more others respect you." If you are too nice to people, then you are in trouble. ”

Zhu Xiaohua understands in seconds.

Zhu Xiaohua asked them to continue making bricks, while he and Tang Yimin went to find the kiln owner Liu Daqiang.
