Chapter 17 Chinese New Year

That night, the master and apprentice began to study temporarily every night, and it didn't end until 12 o'clock in the evening, and the old Taoist priest was very satisfied with the progress of the stupid pillar, although the apprentice did not understand many things

The next morning, I got up at 5 o'clock as usual, and I didn't plan to make breakfast after practicing Bajiquan in the yard for an hour, so I walked towards the breakfast shop after washing, and after returning with breakfast, the people in the courtyard had already lined up to wash and go to the toilet, looking at the long teammates by the pool

Silly Zhu walked towards his home with breakfast, the washing crowd looked enviously at the breakfast that Silly Zhu bought, this silly pillar family had a really good life, yesterday ate meat and today is to buy breakfast, in the child noisy this want to eat meat buns and parents in the courtyard soon became very lively, today is Sunday no need to go to work or school, wake up the sister who is still sleeping lazy to get up for breakfast

In He Yushui's sigh of dissatisfaction with his lack of sleep, the breakfast of the He family ended soon, the old Taoist priest and the stupid pillar began the daily teaching again, He Yushui went out to play with his friends, and the stupid pillar instructed him not to run too far, and handed his sister 5000 yuan after speaking (the exchange ratio with the second version of RMB is 10000, 5000 is 5 cents of the second version)

He Yushui happily took the money and went out to call friends to prepare to go to the fun, and when it was 10 o'clock, the old Taoist priest was still talking, and from time to time there was a voice of the stupid pillar asking questions, and then the voice of the three masters came from outside the door, "Silly pillar, someone is looking for it"

Silly Zhu heard that someone was looking for him, and it was estimated that the driver in the factory came to send him to the big leader's house, Master He said that he went to the leader's house to cook at noon and went out, and when he saw a middle-aged man standing next to the car at the gate, "You are Master He, I am Deputy Director Wang to pick you up, are you ready?" Okay, I'll leave the door now."

I heard that Deputy Director Wang called someone to pick him up, and he was not the driver in the factory, but Silly Zhu didn't bother why. Nodded "Let's go, I've brought everything"

Soon the car came to a gate with a handle wearing a military uniform at the door, which said a certain military compound, and waited for the gate guard to look at the driver's master's documents and let the two register and then let them go, and then saw a 30-year-old man standing at the door.

I remember that when I came, it was the secretary of the big leader who picked him up, and Secretary Chen was estimated to be still in school at that time, and I don't know if this man is the current secretary of the big leader, and the character of the stupid pillar will not ask about these things, and when the man led the stupid pillar to the kitchen, he said that he would come back and notify him when he needed to cook, and let the stupid pillar wait for him in the kitchen first, and he also needed to notify himself first when he went to the toilet. didn't wait for the stupid pillar to agree to turn around and leave

Silly Zhu sat on a stool and looked at the kitchen, which was similar to what he remembered, but now it looked newer, probably because it had just been built

It was already 11 o'clock when I saw the man again, "Master He, let's start cooking, you can make 4 dishes and one soup for these dishes on the table, the leaders are waiting, you hurry up and start, call me when it's done, I'll be outside the door"

Silly Zhu didn't say much when he heard this, got up and put on his smock and washed his hands and began to prepare to wash vegetables, and soon there was a sound of chopping vegetables from the kitchen, and it didn't take long for Silly Zhu to shout "The dish is ready" outside the door

The man opened the door curtain and walked in and saw that the dishes on the table were picked up and left, and there were no extra words, Silly Zhu then began to fry the next dish, and after a few dishes were all done, Silly Zhu began to eat with the reserved meal, and a few minutes after Silly Zhu finished eating, the man came over again, "Master He, the leaders will have a meeting later, I'll go to the master first to send you back" Looking at Silly Zhu and nodded, the two walked towards the door, and waited until the door Silly Zhu saw that the car was already waiting for him

It was already 12 o'clock when Silly Zhu returned to the courtyard, the master and his sister had already eaten, and the remaining 2 people last night were warmed up as lunch, Silly Zhu didn't say anything when he saw it, and he lay on the bed to prepare for a lunch break, and woke up an hour later and followed the master to learn physiognomy

Time passed day by day in such a light and busy way, and soon it was the day when the rolling mill issued New Year's benefits, and this year's rolling mill issued the same as last year, but the cloth became the white surface of the corresponding value

Lou Baocheng asked Silly Zhu to make him a farewell meal at noon, this meal is the last meal that Lou Bancheng ate at work in the rolling mill, after eating this meal, Lou Bancheng will not work in the rolling mill next year, after eating Lou Bancheng sent some things to Silly Zhu, this year Lou Bancheng did not plan to let Silly Zhu go to his house to cook Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, now it is different from the past, he needs to be low-key now

In the afternoon, the whole factory paid wages, or the same as last year, the salary of the month was paid in advance, so that everyone had money for the New Year, in the envious eyes of everyone, the stupid pillar received his own salary for this month, as well as overtime pay and subsidies, 500,000, the salary of the stupid pillar shocked everyone present, I didn't expect that this kid who had just come to the year was about to top his 2 months' salary a month, it was really more popular than the dead

Yi Zhonghai also heard the stupid pillar of 500,000 this month at this time, and he was a little surprised and calculated at the same time, the age of the deaf old lady in the backyard is also getting older day by day, Director Wang of the Street Office found himself some time ago and wanted to let himself take care of the deaf old lady in the courtyard, a lonely old man, and usually help wash and wash the shabu, when he heard this, Yi Zhonghai said that he wanted to refuse to tell the truth, but Director Wang said that he was an uncle in the courtyard and wanted to lead by example. Now that he saw Silly Zhu's 500,000 a month, he suddenly thought that since Silly Zhu's salary is so high, can he talk to Director Wang and let Silly Zhu take care of the deaf old lady

Suddenly, this plan took root in Yi Zhonghai's heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, so that he could kill two birds with one stone, since the stupid pillar took care of the deaf old lady, and made Director Wang feel that he had helped solve the problem of the lonely old man, and thought that he would go back at night to plan the plan

Silly Zhu doesn't know what Yi Zhonghai thinks, and he won't care very much if he knows, to be honest, let Silly Zhu provide for the deaf old lady, Silly Zhu doesn't care about himself, but Yi Zhonghai wants to kidnap himself through morality

It didn't take long to see Lou Bancheng's secretary when he returned to the cafeteria, "Master He, Lou Dong asked you to go over, saying that there was something to do with you", and when Silly Zhu followed Secretary Chen to Lou Bancheng's office, he saw that the entire office was almost empty, Lou Bancheng sat on the chair and didn't know what he was thinking, and the whole person was a little sluggish, and Silly Zhu felt that Lou Bancheng might be remembering this factory that he had created and fought for decades

"Master Lou Dong He is here" Lou Bancheng heard his secretary call him, and the whole person came back to his senses, "Secretary Chen, you go out first, I have something to say to Master He"

After Secretary Chen closed the door, Lou Bancheng asked Silly Zhu to sit opposite him, "Zhuzi, let me call you that, my father and I are also old acquaintances, the two of us have known each other for 40 years and have been known for 13 years now, I didn't expect the time to be so fast, I left you when you first came to the factory last year, one is because of your good cooking skills, and the other is because of your father"

Silly Zhu heard Lou Bancheng suddenly mention his father He Daqing was also a little curious, how did his entry into the factory have anything to do with his father

However, Lou Bancheng obviously didn't have the heart to tell the story of the two people, Lou Bancheng continued: "I won't be in the rolling mill from next year, you should have heard it" The tone of the voice was very lonely, "Zhuzi, I have prepared some New Year's goods for you, and I will let the driver send them to your home for you, which can be regarded as a thank you for often working overtime to help me receive meals this year!" After speaking, he stopped talking, and Silly Zhu didn't know how to open his mouth when he saw this situation, so he could only say to Lou Bancheng to thank him for his help this year

When Silly Zhu returned to the courtyard, he heard the three masters say that someone drove a car to send some things to his family, and when Silly Zhu returned home, he also saw the New Year's goods sent by Lou Bancheng, a bag of rice and white noodles, and a barrel of oil, and the most surprising thing for Silly Zhu was that there were 2 boxes of bird's nest, a Yellow River carp, and a box of abalone

I was also a little surprised to see the stupid pillar of the New Year's goods sent by Lou Bancheng, I didn't expect Lou Bancheng's handwriting to be so big, and I couldn't figure out why Lou Bancheng sent so many things to himself, bird's nest and abalone can't be bought by ordinary people, let alone gifts

I don't understand that the stupid pillar is not entangled, the silly pillar is put away, the bird's nest should be soaked in advance, and then there will be a few days before the New Year, the bird's nest abalone must be sent in advance to cook, the silly pillar decided to go to the market and the supply and marketing cooperative, to buy some sugar and vegetables, beef, sheep and pork, think about it now that it is getting late, let's go over tomorrow afternoon.

The next afternoon, Silly Zhu came back early from the rolling mill, called the master and his sister together, bought clothes for the two of them, and when the three came to the Chaoyang vegetable market, the market was already crowded, and Silly Zhu finally bought all the things that needed to be prepared, and rushed to the supply and marketing cooperatives with New Year's goods

When it was time to buy clothes for the master, the old man didn't want to live or die, saying that he wanted to buy a robe, and the stupid pillar thought to himself, where should I go to buy a robe, so he could only buy some cloth and prepare for others to help make a robe, and found a tailor shop on the road to measure the size, and negotiated the price, and he could come to get it tomorrow

When the three returned to the courtyard, it was already dark, the day after tomorrow was Chinese New Year's Eve, the rolling mill still needed to work tomorrow, but the afternoon would be an early holiday, and when I had dinner, I told my sister to ask him to find the third master tomorrow to buy a couplet, but I didn't think about it at this time the master said: "What to buy for the Spring Festival, I'll write it to you, I'm not bragging, my words have been praised by Yuan Datou and Old Jiang" After speaking, let the stupid pillar come over with paper and pen

"How can there be red paper and brushes in the house," Silly Zhu retorted

"I don't have a brush, I can't buy one tomorrow, you have to suggest an hour of brush words every day from tomorrow, and now we don't need to draw symbols in this line, but the words must be good-looking" Silly Zhu didn't object, just handed her sister some money to buy paper and pens tomorrow

"How old is the rain, it's okay for you to let him buy paper, he will recognize the pen, forget it, I'll buy it myself tomorrow or the old way" He Yushui didn't say anything when he heard that he didn't need to run away by himself, and he lowered his head and continued to cook

The next day, I got up early in the morning to practice, washed and made breakfast, and rushed to the rolling mill after doing some, the factory is not running the machine today, and the main job is to clean, but the canteen still has to cook, and after lunch, the silly pillar follows everyone to clean up

Silly Zhu is now very popular in the canteen, and often instructs other people to cook, although it is not too much to let other people's skills increase a lot on the original basis, and so the cleaning is almost more than 2 o'clock, Director Tang came over at this time and told everyone, "If it's over, you can get off work, and say good to everyone in advance, everyone's work is very good this year, let's make persistent efforts next year."

In the laughter of everyone, Silly Zhu also embarked on the way home, who knew that as soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, the two seemed to be going home side by side, Silly Zhu wanted to wait for the two to leave after they left, but he didn't expect that this was Yi Zhonghai but saw himself

"Pillar, are you ready to go home? Go home and go together" Silly Zhu had no choice but to go with the two of them, on the way home, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong said: "Lao Liu, Director Wang asked me to find someone to take care of the deaf old lady in our courtyard, you and I analyze who is the most suitable in our courtyard."

Director Wang didn't ask Yi Zhonghai to find someone to take care of the deaf old lady, she wanted Yi Zhonghai to take care of it, Yi Zhonghai and his wife have no old people and no children, and they are the most suitable to take care of the deaf old lady, Liu Haizhong didn't think much about it, he thought that it was really Director Wang who asked Yi Zhonghai to help find it

"Lao Yi, according to what you said about taking care of the deaf old lady in our yard, you must have a small burden, I think that among the more than 20 households in the courtyard, your family and the Xu family and the stupid Zhu family are the most suitable."

"Lao Liu, what you said is that there are only our Xu family and the stupid Zhu family in our courtyard, and now the two of us can't make a decision, I think so, I need to go to work, my wife is not in good health, and it is nothing to help the old lady wash and wash up, what about the Xu family! The two husband and wife are both at work, Xu Damao will also graduate next year, and what his father said means is to let him follow the study and play movies first, it is estimated that there is no time, let them pay for it, the stupid pillar is a sister with only one sister, and there is no burden" Yi Zhonghai secretly traced the stupid pillar when he spoke

Silly Zhu didn't think much about it when he first heard the conversation between the two people, and then listened to Yi Zhonghai's words more and more he listened, the more wrong he became, how to listen to Yi Zhonghai's words means that the three of their own families are the most suitable, this old thing won't be calculating himself again! I can't let this old thing count anymore when it comes to my snacks

"Lao Liu, let's hold a general meeting of the whole house tonight to discuss this matter, and I'll go back and discuss it with the three masters first."

"Okay, just do what you say," Liu Haizhong nodded after hearing it

Yi Zhonghai saw the bangs that had been buried by himself, and then said to the stupid pillar: "Zhuzi, you see that the old lady who is deaf in our courtyard is older and more than 60 years old this year, usually you have nothing to do to come to the door to take a look, occasionally the old lady sends some food, care about the elderly" Yi Zhonghai wants to say that we elders are respectful, what we say, you have to listen to what we want to do

"No, uncle. If you want to say that the biggest in our hospital was the deaf old lady in the past, I don't object, but now my master is the biggest, you can't treat it differently, my master is a generation older than the deaf old lady" The more the stupid pillar listened, the more he felt that Yi Zhonghai wanted to calculate his own pension for the deaf old lady, Director Wang's personality would not let Yi Zhonghai help, if he needed help, he would personally hold a meeting to say

Yi Zhonghai was about to vomit blood when he heard the words of the stupid pillar, the identity of the old Taoist Yi Zhonghai heard the director of the street office Wang mention it once, he was more than 80 years old, and he had killed a lot of devils and saved a lot of people, and now there are many people in Sijiu City who have been saved by the old Taoist, but he is unwilling to be taken over to support the elderly, he has been living on his own, and he has not received relief from the state, Yi Zhonghai has always been reluctant to contact the old Taoist, and he has been deliberately ignoring the old Taoist when talking to the stupid pillar. The old Taoist priest himself had little contact with the people in the courtyard, and sometimes he was often absent from home

Silly Zhu suddenly mentioned that the old Taoist priest let Yi Zhonghai not know how to continue the words, today's conversation with Liu Haizhong was originally calculated Silly Zhu, as for throwing the pot to the Xu family In Yi Zhonghai's opinion, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, although Xu's father and Xu mother are not things, but they are very thieves, Yi Zhonghai does not dare to guarantee that the husband and wife can play, and Silly Zhu is not accepting now, can he really let himself take care of the old lady in the backyard

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was not talking, Silly Zhu did not continue to investigate, and the three of them walked towards the courtyard in silence, but Yi Zhonghai still did not give up, he still planned to use the people of the whole courtyard to continue to oppress Silly Zhu and let him take care of the deaf old lady at the plenary meeting tonight

Silly Zhu returned home and was forced by the master to connect the word for an hour, in the eyes of the silly pillar is completely unnecessary, he is a kitchen word, no matter how good the word is, the old Taoist priest saw the face of the silly pillar but said: "Pillar, the word is like its person, the process of practicing calligraphy is the same ups and downs as our life, you will understand later"

Soon it was night, and the stupid pillar was originally reluctant to participate in any bullshit conference, but he couldn't stand Yi Zhonghai coming to the door in person, so he could only carry a small bench to the courtyard, and only listened to the three uncles chattering on it for more than ten minutes, and finally arrived at the theme of tonight

"Today, there is one of the most important things, that is, Director Wang asked me to help find someone in our courtyard to help take care of the deaf old lady, our three uncles discussed before dinner to take care of the deaf old lady There are some prerequisites, the first is that there is no burden in the family, that is, the parents are not there or the parents are still young, the second is a good job, such as a fool like a cook, and the third is a good character."

When the people in the courtyard meeting heard Yi Zhonghai say a few conditions, especially the stupid pillar mentioned in the second one, they immediately thought in their hearts, isn't the stupid pillar that best meets the conditions of the first uncle in our courtyard? Do you still need to choose?

Xu Damao was not confused, and said: "Isn't that a stupid pillar, the first uncle is a stupid pillar" Seeing Xu Damao say what he thought in his heart, Yi Zhonghai nodded, the second master and the third master also nodded after hearing it, which one of the three families chooses has nothing to do with the two of them, and they don't care who it is

Silly Zhu was reluctant to shout directly to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle Yi, what do you mean by calling my name, what kind of work is like a cook like me, the conditions you said are that there are your family and Xu Damao's family in our yard, why don't you say it, what do you mean by only calling my name, and you directly think that I am the most suitable, so why are you still holding a meeting." If you want me to say that your uncle's family is the most suitable, you husband and wife are only 40 years old after the New Year, and there is no burden, and an aunt just happens to not go to work and can take care of the old lady."

After the stupid pillar finished speaking, the others also reacted, the stupid pillar was right, there is an uncle in this courtyard is the most suitable, there are no parents and no children, the stupid pillar also has a master and sister to take care of, this uncle is a level 7 fitter, and the salary is more than 80 per month, and someone immediately echoed the stupid pillar's words

"Yes! Uncle Yi stupid Zhu said this, we only understood, isn't this condition just for you, just take care of the old lady directly"

Yi Zhonghai saw that he couldn't suppress the scene and hurriedly let it end, and this whole house meeting also ended hastily with everyone's alarm clock, but the most important responsibility for taking care of the deaf old lady also fell on Yi Zhonghai

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Silly Zhu took the couplet written by the master at noon and pasted it with the help of his sister, and the three masters in the front yard were very unhappy when they saw someone robbing his business, and felt that there were millions less, but Silly Zhu didn't care

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Silly Zhu worked alone in the kitchen for most of the day and finally prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at 7 o'clock, which was richer than last year's, and Silly Pillar prepared 10 meals, big New Year! It has to be perfect
