Four people were chatting and laughing in the office when someone from the workshop came and said there was a problem with the workshop circuit. Li Qinghe rushed over. He had been idle for several days and was almost bored to death. It was just right that he had something to do.
Others did not compete with him for the job. It was so comfortable to drink tea and chat in the office. They were not young and could not afford to sit idle.
After a morning, the four of them went to the cafeteria to eat. He Yuzhu was directing the cafeteria workers to move the prepared dishes to the window.
"Hey, brother is here, what do you want to eat?"
Li Qinghe looked at today's dishes and said disappointedly, "There is no meat today."
"What good things are you thinking? You want to eat meat? Just smile secretly if you can eat white flour buns." After saying that, he put two white flour buns in Li Qinghe's lunch box. "The pure white flour buns are for you. Others can't eat them. These are for the leaders."
"That's great. Brother Zhuzi is really loyal." Li Qinghe gave a thumbs up.
This is the benefit of having a good relationship with the cook. We don't get to eat fine grains on a normal basis. Even if the kitchen makes steamed buns, they won't use pure white flour. They will use double-mixed flour, which means white flour mixed with corn flour. As for how much white flour there is, it depends on luck.
As He Yuzhu said, these pure white flour steamed buns are given to leaders and are not easily seen by ordinary workers.
"Brother Zhuzi, give me some more cabbage and potatoes."
"Okay, let's go, there are people behind us."
After putting two full spoonfuls of vegetables into the lunch box, He Yuzhu smiled and waved his hand, telling Li Qinghe to hurry up. The people queuing behind him had already started shouting.
They looked unhappy. Not only did they have to wait in line for a long time, but they also got to eat white flour buns. It would be strange if they felt comfortable about it. However, due to He Yuzhu's tyranny, they dared not to get angry.
He Yuzhu is the bully in the cafeteria. He will make things difficult for anyone who dares to displease him. After Li Qinghe left, these people became quiet.
Yang Xiuhe and the others were stunned when they saw the steamed buns in Li Qinghe's lunch box.
"Disciple, where did you get this white flour bun? Is there one in the window?"
"Master, this is for you." Li Qinghe put a white flour bun into Yang Xiuhe's bowl, took out a steamed bread and said with a smile: "Hey, these are all prepared by the canteen for the leaders. Of course I won't sell them. I am from the same courtyard with the chef He Yuzhu, and we have a good relationship. He gave me two."
"Well, fine, I'll take advantage of you." Yang Xiuhe wanted to refuse when he saw the steamed buns in the bowl, but after hesitating for a while he compromised, with a touch of emotion in his eyes.
But he didn't eat it. Instead, he carefully put it in the lid of the lunch box, apparently intending to take it home to feed his children. Fine grains are hard to come by these days, and since it is a good thing, most people would choose to leave it for their children at home.
"Haha, Lao Yang, you made the right choice in accepting this disciple. He's thinking of you when he has something good."
"Yeah, I'm envious."
"You two guys..."
The other two electricians were not jealous at all, but instead started teasing Yang Xiuhe.
Li Qinghe was able to eat white flour buns because he had a good relationship with the chef. Besides, he didn't have white flour to eat every meal. It was no big deal to have it once in a while. He was willing to share it with Yang Xiuhe because they had a good relationship between master and apprentice. They were just envious.
A day passed and Li Qinghe returned to the compound carrying six eggs. He took them out from the space, but only took out half of them to avoid being noticed.
"Hey, Qinghe is back and bought some eggs."
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Yan Bugui's voice. He was fiddling with the flowers he planted. Li Qinghe saw him as soon as he entered the courtyard and stared at the eggs for several times.
"Yes, I'm back. By the way, Third Uncle, I was just about to tell you that I can ask Third Aunt to help me with my laundry these two days. I see Third Aunt is washing clothes all day long, so please wash mine as well."
Yan Bugui turned his head away, pretending to be unhappy, but his eyes were fixed on the egg, "You kid, my daughter-in-law tidies up your room, not enough, you also let my old woman wash your clothes? Besides, why are you staring at your third aunt? My daughter-in-law can't wash your clothes, right?"
"That's not right." Li Qinghe waved his hands quickly. "I'm a grown man after all. It's not good to ask Yu Li to wash my clothes. Don't you think so?"
Yan Bugui frowned. Indeed, Yu Li was young after all, and it was not good for her to wash clothes for another man.
Seeing the old man hesitate, Li Qinghe stuffed two eggs into his pocket to give him confidence, "Uncle, please help me. I really can't do this. You know, when have I ever washed my clothes cleanly before?"
Feeling the bulging money in his pocket, Yan Bugui smiled from ear to ear. He knew he had to seize this good opportunity and not let it fly away.
"Well, your third aunt is tired from washing clothes every day. When the eldest comes back, I will tell him to let Yu Li go over to help you."
"Okay, please hurry up, I'm running out of clothes to change into and I'm waiting to wear them." Li Qinghe pretended to be reluctant.
"Don't worry, your uncle has never failed to keep his promise." Touching the eggs in his pocket, Yan Bugui grinned with joy.
"Okay, I'll go back and wait."
After returning home, Li Qinghe started cooking and just fried the eggs. Lou Xiaoe had gone back to her parents' home, so he had to do it himself.
Unexpectedly, just after the food was cooked, Xu Damao opened the door and came in, "Brother, let's go to my place to eat and have a drink."
"Hey, that's a good feeling."
"Okay, then hurry up, I have prepared the food."
"Okay."
After Xu Damao left, Li Qinghe took out half of the egg and put it in the lunch box, preparing to take it to Xu Damao's house.
By the way, am I not being kind? I slept with someone and was treated to a drink by him. I feel a little guilty.
After entering Xu's house, Xu Damao seemed to be in a bad mood. He didn't touch the food, but he had already finished two glasses of wine.
"Brother Damao, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, your sister-in-law just went back to her parents' home." Xu Damao drank another glass.
He originally wondered if Lou Xiao'e had calmed down and wanted to ask her to come back and live with him, but he found out that she had already left. He asked the aunt in the courtyard and found out that she had gone back to her parents' home.
This made him panic. Would Lou Xiao'e tell her family about the test results? If the Lou family knew about it, what would happen to him?
My daughter married you, Xu Damao, and was wronged for not giving birth to a child. The Lou family has no face to ask for an explanation, so they can only bear it. If they knew that you couldn't give birth because of your health problem, would they still give face to you, Xu Damao?
Li Qinghe looked at his worried expression and felt secretly happy in his heart. He never thought that it was me who instigated Lou Xiao'e to go back to her parents' home.
"Okay, don't think about those troubles, brother Damao. I brought some scrambled eggs."
Li Qinghe put the lunch box on the table and opened it, but the fragrance wafted out.
"You are really good, now we have two solid dishes for drinking."
Xu Damao looked at Li Qinghe in surprise.
