Today is the last day of Silly Zhu's work at Emei Hotel, and Wu Changan found Silly Zhu after half past nine in the evening: "Pillar, there is no one in the store, pack up and get ready to get off work." Take the dishes back from the table, today is your last day of work. ”

"Okay, master" Silly Zhu heard the master's words and began to get up to clean up the master's stove, and a few minutes later Silly Zhu walked in front of Wu Changan, "The master has cleaned up, I will go back first, and I will go to your house to find you after I come back from Baocheng to take over." ”

"Okay, Zhuzi, you go back first, come to the master if you encounter any trouble in the future, the master has no other skills, and he still has some connections in the culinary world." Wu Changan looked at He Yuzhu with a relieved face, his apprentice can be regarded as a long face for himself, he has only been apprenticed for 2 years and can cook on his own in less than 3 years, and which of his previous apprentices is not able to take charge of himself after 5 years of study.

When Silly Zhu returned to the courtyard with his lunch box, it was already past 10 o'clock, and the people in the courtyard were basically asleep. knocked on the door and shouted to Yan Bugui to open the door for himself

I heard that this courtyard house I lived in used to be a prince of the Qing Dynasty, and it used to be a large courtyard with 4 entrances, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were more households living in, and the street office opened up the first courtyard and the second courtyard, and now it is considered a three-entry courtyard, but according to some memories of later generations in memory, this courtyard should not be the hospitalization of the prince of the previous dynasty, it should be another courtyard or something, the Yan family lives on the right hand side of the gate, it used to be the house of the porter, and now the Yan family of 5 people remember that Yan Bugui also has a daughter, but it has not been born yet, it should be these two years.

Yan's family, Yan Bugui heard the door being knocked on, got dressed and opened the door, saw Silly Zhu carrying a lunch box and said, "Silly Zhu, this is off work!" "Yes! Uncle Yan, it's time to get off work, please open the door in the middle of the night! It's a cold day, so hurry back to the house. ”

Yan Bugui opened the door after more than 20 households in the courtyard decided together, but each family has to give some money, after all, there are a few households in the courtyard like Silly Zhu who get off work late, and the rolling mill sometimes has urgent tasks and will work overtime, plus Yan Bugui also opened the door in the morning, so the key to the gate of the courtyard is in Yan Bugui's hand.

Silly Zhu returned to his house, put the lunch box on the table, boiled the water, remembered that his sister might not have eaten dinner, so he turned around and went out to the door of the rain room, knocked twice and asked, "Rainwater, have you eaten at night?" ”

After a while, the door was opened, He Yushui rubbed his eyes and walked out from inside, and when he saw it, his stupid brother replied in a daze: "Silly brother, you got off work, and I left a nest in the morning and I ate it at night." "Are you still hungry?" If you're hungry, my brother brought some vegetables back and will make them for you now. Silly Zhu asked distressedly.

In the past, I didn't have to worry about the problem of eating in the rain at home, but today I forgot about the problem of eating in the rain at night. Hearing this, Yushui asked with a little surprise, "Now?" I was hungry and I didn't eat enough at night. ”

Hearing his sister's answer, Silly Zhu was not surprised at all: "Brother boiled some hot water, you will wash your face later, and I will cook for you now." "Okay, silly brother" The two brothers and sisters closed the door and came to the main house, Silly Zhu went to the kitchen to cook, and He Yushui skillfully carried the kettle and poured water into the basin. It didn't take long for Silly Zhu to finish the meal, and the two brothers and sisters sat at the table.

Yushui looked at the food on the table and was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't expect his brother to bring several meat dishes that he liked to eat, including kung pao chicken, mapo tofu, back pot meat, and a dish that he had never seen before. Silly Zhu looked at the rain and explained to him: "This is Kung Pao shrimp balls, a guest who came to the store today ordered them, and the master left me some dishes for me to bring back, eat them quickly!" ”

Here, the two brothers and sisters are happily eating. At Yi Zhonghai's house, Yi Zhonghai heard a voice from the courtyard and knew that Silly Zhu was off work, so he got up and got dressed. Yi Zhonghai's wife saw her wife getting dressed and asked, "Do you want to get up and go to the toilet?" "It's not that the stupid pillar is back, I'll take a look." Yi Zhonghai watched his wife wake up and replied. "Then you go early and come back early"

There was a banging knock on the door, and the brother and sister at the dinner table were curious who would come over on the big night. "It's coming," said the stupid pillar, getting up and opening the door, and seeing Yi Zhonghai at the door, he was very surprised, "It's Uncle Yi!" Is there something wrong with you coming here this big night? ”

"The pillar is off work, I heard your voice and came out to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be you." Yi Zhonghai saw the brother and sister eating, so he asked in surprise, "Do you eat at ten o'clock?" ”

"Hey! You say it's my fault. I went out in the morning and forgot to prepare dinner for the rain, I came back and thought that the rain had not eaten yet, so I quickly burned two dishes, do you want to eat again? Silly Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai and said.

"No, I've eaten it in the evening" After saying that, he suddenly regretted that he said it too early, the life of the He family was thought that He Daqing would become very bad after leaving, but I didn't expect the two brothers and sisters to eat so well the day after He Daqing left. The food on this table is rarely eaten once in a few years.

Secretly swallowing the saliva in his mouth, Yi Zhonghai forcibly turned his head away, and then remembered something, looked at the stupid pillar and said, "Silly pillar!" Today, I went to ask Director Tang in the cafeteria, there may not be much hope for you to take over, after all, you are too young to meet the regulations. ”

Silly Zhu didn't show any expression on his face when he heard Yi Zhonghai's words, and thought to himself: "The self in my memory just believed in your old thing's words, and I didn't go to the factory until I was 18 years old, and I didn't go to the factory to try it myself!" This old thing really hurts himself, if he hadn't gone to the factory today, he and his sister would definitely be hungry in the future," he replied: "It's okay, Uncle Yi, I'll go to Baocheng in a few days, and when I come back, I'll go to Director Wang to see if I can find a job through the street office." ”

Yi Zhonghai was very surprised when he heard this, when will this stupid pillar take a roundabout tactic. According to his own plan, this stupid pillar should thank himself and let himself help figure out a way. I didn't expect this little thing to think of the street office, this is not good, if you let the stupid pillar go to the street office, the street office will definitely go back to the rolling mill to do everything on their side. So he hurriedly persuaded:

"Silly pillar! Don't bother the government, in the past two days, I'll look for your Uncle Liu in the backyard and Uncle Cheng in the front yard, and the three of us will go to the factory to find the leaders to see if we can do this for you."

"Okay, I'll thank you a few uncles first. When that's done, I'll invite you to have a drink. Silly Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai with an anxious face and replied. Anyway, I don't need this old thing to help, and who wouldn't verbally promise. After speaking, he said good night to Yi Zhonghai and hurriedly went to wash up and sleep!

I got up early the next morning to cook, and by the way, I called the rain to get up and wash. Waiting for the two brothers and sisters to sit down at the dining table, the silly pillar said: "Yushui, I'll go to the street today, and you come back to eat at noon, brother is at home at noon." ”

"Brother, aren't you going to work today?" He Yushui asked suspiciously

"Brother is going to go to the factory to pick up our father's class, and after that, you can earn money to support the family, tell me what you want to eat in the future, and buy it for you." Silly Zhu looked at his younger sister and said

"Really? Brother, don't lie to me, or I'll ignore you. He Yushui looked at his brother with a look of surprise

"Lie to you as a puppy, in the future, we will be two brothers and sisters, and my brother will definitely take care of you." Silly Zhu said while drinking porridge

After the two brothers and sisters finished eating, Silly Zhu sent his sister to the nursery and walked in the direction of the street office. After talking to the doorkeeper to find Director Wang, I came to the door of Director Wang's office and knocked on the door, and there was a sound of "Please come in" from inside

After seeing the comer, Director Wang said: "Zhu, you are here, come and sit here for a while, and I will tell you about the situation in Baocheng." After speaking, he opened a piece of paper next to the table, looked at He Yuzhu and said:

"Zhuzi, your father found the address in Baocheng, wait for a letter of introduction for you, you can go to Baocheng tomorrow!"

Silly Zhu didn't feel anything strange when he heard Director Wang's words, the street office has a lot of power in this era, and it is not difficult to check a person's address, "Then thank you, Director Wang" Director Wang looked at He Yuzhu and replied with a little gratitude, thought about it and said:

"Zhuzi, I've thought about the problem of your work here for the past two days, you are a chef, and I don't have any good arrangements here, so it's better to go to the rolling mill. Did Yi Zhonghai give you any news? ”

Silly Zhu looked at Director Wang at this time and replied: "I have almost solved the matter of Director Wang's work, you don't have to worry about it anymore, it should still be in the rolling mill, I went to find Director Lou of the rolling mill"

"Didn't Yi Zhonghai solve it for you? Didn't he finish at your house a few days ago and help you find the leader? Director Wang heard He Yuzhu's reply and asked curiously

"No, Uncle Yi came to me last night and said that the leader of the factory said that I was not old enough to enter the factory." Director Wang also felt normal when he heard Silly Zhu's reply, "It's also Yi Zhonghai, a fitter, and I don't know the leader in this area."

"Just solve it, and you can make money when you have a job." Director Wang said with relief, and then the two chatted a few words, and then the stupid pillar got up to say goodbye and prepare to leave.

After leaving the street office, the stupid pillar returned home, there was still a lot of yesterday's meal, and he and his sister could still eat two meals, and at noon, my sister came back and after the two of them finished eating, they suddenly heard someone at the door talking, "Brother Silly Zhu, someone is looking for you"

Silly Zhu opened the door of the house and saw that it was Uncle Cheng's son and Uncle Wang in the front yard and said, "Uncle Wang, you are here" and then invited Uncle Wang into the house

Wang Fugui sat on the chair and looked at the stupid pillar pouring water and said, "Don't be busy with the pillar, I'm going back to work after I say a few words." Your work is decided, and Lou Dong asked you to go to work in the factory in two days, or in the third canteen. However, the problem of your age is not enough to be an apprentice, Lou Dong told Secretary Liang that your skills are very good, you can do the reception in the factory in the future, Secretary Liang made a decision for you, but it was Lou Dong's own account to pay you a salary of 300,000 a month, and after two years, 18, in the official pick up of your father's class, this 300,000 is not your chef's salary standard, but you can't calculate according to common sense, it is a special appointment of the rolling mill"

"Really? Uncle Wang, thank you, Uncle Wang, wait for me to pay my salary, and invite you to dinner. Silly Zhu said in surprise

"You kid, pay your salary, make up for your sister, I didn't do anything, you get busy first, I'll go back to work" Uncle Wang looked at He Yuzhu and said with relief, and then got up to leave.

The brother and sister were very happy to hear the news, and the elder brother was so happy that he could earn money and buy things for himself after he went to work, He Yushui fantasized happily

But then He Yuzhu told his sister that he would not say anything about going to work in a few days, especially Yi Zhonghai and the few uncles in the courtyard.

The next day, the brother and sister went straight to the station with the letter of introduction and money to buy a ticket to Baocheng, the brother and sister looked at the scenery outside the window and had mixed thoughts, remembering that they and their sister went to Baocheng and were stopped by the white widow, but now they are not the stupid pillar they used to be, He Yuzhu decided to go directly to the local street office to let the street office solve this matter, after all, this is also what happened in the area under their jurisdiction.
