"Who! Who is it! Come out!" Jia Zhang jumped up. The crackling sound of firecrackers just now scared her so much that her heart was pounding.
This isn't just a festival, it's obvious someone is deliberately making trouble.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, could you please be quiet?"
Sha Zhu came out of the house cursing, pointing at Jia Zhang's nose and starting to curse.
The courtyard had been peaceful for a few days, but as soon as Jia and Zhang came back, something bad happened.
"Silly Zhu, which eye of yours saw me setting off firecrackers?" Jia Zhang was not at all weak in momentum. Without even thinking, she cursed back, "Damn it, were you the one who set off the firecrackers?"
"Let go of your grandma's legs! If you scare my wife, I will break Jia Dongxu's legs!"
Sha Zhu, realizing that he had scolded the wrong person, didn't show any intention of apologizing. He just yelled twice and went back to the house.
Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu looked at each other silently, and both tacitly remembered that on the night when Jia Zhang was taken away, someone also set off firecrackers in the yard.
"Damn it, if you have the guts, come out and I'll... " Jia Zhang didn't know who threw the firecrackers. She cursed for more than ten minutes and then lay down to rest.
What she didn't expect was that at about half past ten, someone threw firecrackers into the yard again.
Jia Zhang got up and continued to curse.
After twelve o'clock, the sound of firecrackers came again.
This went on for four or five times, and everyone in the courtyard was upset.
The Jia family members were even more miserable. They were woken up by the noise several times throughout the night. It was hard to get quiet in the second half of the night, and they had to get up at five or six in the morning.
After all, we are sleeping on the floor in the yard, and if we get up too late, we will easily be watched by people in the yard.
Qin Huairu had to clean up the house today, so she asked Sha Zhu for leave and stayed at home to do the work.
Chen Jun lived in the backyard and was not affected by the sound of firecrackers last night. He went to work after breakfast.
In the cafeteria, Sha Zhu was standing with his hands on his hips, watching the people in the kitchen busying around.
"Shazhu, come here and cut this pot of potatoes." Chen Jun waved at Shazhu.
When Sha Zhu heard this, his heart trembled and he clenched his fists nervously.
With his current position as the canteen monitor, he actually doesn't have to cut the potatoes himself. The reason why Chen Jun asked him to cut potatoes was definitely to test his recent knife skills.
And Shazhu has indeed been a bit slack lately and hasn't cut vegetables for several days.
"Here, here it comes..."
Although he was a little timid, Sha Zhu still pretended to be calm and walked over.
If the potatoes are cut well, everything will be fine. If they are not cut well, I will probably be scolded by Chen Jun.
But let him scold him, Sha Zhu also knew that Chen Jun was urging him on.
Although this guy is a bit stubborn and has a bad mouth, he still respects Chen Jun. Firstly, Chen Jun's cooking skills are really great and Sha Zhu tends to respect the strong. Secondly, Chen Jun is willing to teach him the skills, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is half a master. So even if he is scolded, Sha Zhu does not take it to heart.
“Ding~Ding~Ding~”
Sha Zhu picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting. The first dozen or so cuts were a little unsmooth, but he got the hang of it as he kept cutting.
Chen Jun watched him cut half a basin of potatoes and said expressionlessly, "It's OK, but there is still a lot of room for improvement."
"Hey, we have to take it slow. Director Chen, you can't hold me to your own standards!" Seeing that he wouldn't be scolded, Sha Zhu started to show off.
Chen Jun glanced at him and said, "Practice more. Today's dishes in the cafeteria are all yours."
"Ah? Then who will cook?" Sha Zhu was completely confused.
After cutting all the vegetables, sore arms are a minor problem, but it will affect my ability to cook large pot dishes.
"I'll do it." Chen Jun replied.
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu's worry turned into joy. Chen Jun cooking the big pot of food himself meant that he had another chance to learn. He would have to watch carefully, maybe he would be able to comprehend something new.
It wasn't just Sha Zhu who had this idea. The people in the kitchen were also looking forward to it.
Not only can they learn something, but the big pot dishes at noon will definitely taste better than usual. Counting the days, they haven't eaten the big pot dishes made by Chen Jun for a long time.
At the same time, in the backyard of Courtyard No. 95.
"Da Mao, why haven't you gone to work yet? Are you going to take me back to my parents' home to visit relatives?" In the room, Hou Guifang asked Xu Damao happily while packing her things.
Today is not a day off, but Xu Damao slept until half past eight.
"What the hell? I don't have time to take you there. I have to go to the family compound to show a movie later, so you don't have to go so early." Xu Damao yawned and sat up. Looking at the things Hou Guifang was packing, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "What the hell are you packing? If your family sees it, they'll think our family can't make ends meet!"
As he said that, Xu Damao got out of bed, took out a few bags of fruit, two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of wine from the cupboard and stuffed them into Hou Guifang's pockets: "You haven't been home for a few days, you must bring something good!"
Hou Guifang was delighted when she saw this. Although Xu Damao had a bad temper, he was still very generous to her.
But even though she was happy, Hou Guifang still took out the bottle of Tongzhou Laojiao and said, "My father is not used to drinking this, so you should keep it."
"By the way, Damao, I want to stay at my parents' house for one night when I go back this time. If you don't want to cook, you can go out to eat."
Um???
Not coming back today?
Xu Damao was delighted when he heard this. Since Hou Guifang was not at home, wouldn't he be able to go out for a drink with his colleagues?
After a drink, you can go for a stroll.
Recently, Xu Damao has been taking medicine to regulate his body and has not been in action for almost a week.
"Well, okay, you can say hello to the two elders for me. I'll get him some good cigarettes when I have time next time."
It must be said that Xu Damao had some talent in coaxing women, and he made Hou Guifang happy with just a few words.
"Well, I'll make sure to bring it to you. There are noodles in the pot, remember to eat them later."
"Oh, be careful on the road, safety first."
As soon as Hou Guifang left, Xu Damao went to wash his face and hair, and used hair oil to comb his hair into a very sexy hairstyle.
This guy is not an honest man. Even though he is married now, he often chats with the female workers in the factory.
When movies were shown in the factory, this guy would often take advantage of the female workers. He would arrange good seats for those who took advantage, and would not allow those who did. In fact, he couldn't do anything to others.
I'm going to the staff quarters to show a movie today. I'm sure I'll get to meet the leaders' family members. If there's a pretty girl there, wouldn't it be possible to flirt with her?
"Hey, you're so handsome, maybe you can seduce a young lady!" Xu Damao admired himself in the mirror and went out happily.
When passing by the central courtyard, Xu Damao saw Qin Huairu wearing a headscarf, bending over to clean things at the door. He raised his eyebrows and reached out to pat Qin Huairu on the butt.
"Ouch, Qin Huairu, you are blind. You bumped into me."
