However, what Qin Huairu didn't expect was that as soon as the bell rang for the end of get off work, the entire fitter workshop became restless.
Whether they were mid-level or senior fitters, or apprentices of the same status as Qin Huairu, they all dropped their work and rushed out of the workshop.
"Hurry up! If you run too slowly, you won't be able to buy even a single noodle."
"Hurry up, buy a few more to take home."
"Oh, as expected of Yigong, he's as steady as a rock and won't steal anything from us."
"You know nothing! Director Chen and Team Leader He from the cafeteria live in the same courtyard as Engineer Yi. Do they have to compete with us for their money?"
"Damn, why didn't you tell us earlier? We could ask Yi Gong to help buy some."
"What are you thinking? Why should they help us? Stop talking nonsense and run."
Qin Huairu was stunned when she saw her fellow workers who seemed to be on a shopping spree.
What's going on?
Is it that eating in the cafeteria is free, or is it that the factory is providing warmth?
How come they all ran away?
Oh, someone didn’t run away, that was Yi Zhonghai who was still slowly cleaning up the workbench.
After thinking for a while, Qin Huairu mustered up the courage to ask, "Uncle, what are they doing?"
Although the two families had conflicts, it had been a long time since the incident and Jia Zhang had also been sent to labor camp, so Qin Huairu felt that Yi Zhonghai should take care of her.
Yi Zhonghai frowned upon hearing this and said without turning his head, "They all went to grab instant noodles."
He actually didn't want to have too much involvement with Qin Huairu. After all, Qin Huairu's skills were very poor and she was targeted by the new director. It wouldn't be long before she would be sent to sweep the toilet and do polishing.
Yi Zhonghai was worried that Qin Huairu would ask him for help when she was transferred.
"Instant noodles? Free of charge?" Qin Huairu looked at the workers who had already run away, and stroked her hair at the temples in confusion.
"It costs money, but it tastes good." While speaking, Yi Zhonghai had already tidied up his workbench, then took it off and left the locksmith workshop.
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai never looked back at her, Qin Huairu sighed in disappointment.
This attitude is already very clear, Yi Zhonghai doesn't want to pay attention to him.
But at least I know what it was about.
The instant noodles tasted very good and should be a new product in the cafeteria. Qin Huairu also wanted to go and see what the instant noodles looked like, but the unfinished workpiece made her give up the idea.
The scrap rate of parts today is slightly higher than yesterday, but it's only a little bit higher. I may still be transferred to sweep toilets or do polishing.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu was extremely scared.
Now she has no one to suck her blood from, no one is willing to help her, and her home is in chaos. If she is really transferred, she doesn't know how she will live in the future.
On the other side, when these employees rushed to the cafeteria, Xu Damao had already happily ridden his bike home with two bowls of instant noodles.
As a projectionist in the Propaganda Department, he had much more freedom than ordinary workers. He could stroll around the factory during work, so he went to the cafeteria before getting off work and bought instant noodles early.
When he got home, Xu Damao found that Hou Guifang had already washed the rice and was ready to cook it.
"Hey, let's not have rice porridge tonight. I brought you something delicious."
Fun?
Hou Guifang, who was pregnant, sat up curiously and saw what Xu Damao was holding in his hand.
"Noodles?" Hou Guifang asked.
Xu Damao grinned: "It's instant noodles, much better than noodles. I didn't get some at noon, but I'm so greedy."
"I heard from that idiot Sha Zhu that it's delicious whether you eat it directly, soak it, or boil it. Go rest over there first, and I'll make you a bowl of instant noodles."
"Then I'll boil some water for you!" Hou Guifang was very happy to see that Xu Damao cared about her so much.
Ever since she became pregnant, Xu Damao's attitude has improved a lot. Not only did he start sweeping the floor and washing dishes, he even bought her delicious food from time to time.
This made Hou Guifang feel a lot more at ease. She felt that as long as she could give birth to the child, she could live in the city forever.
"Okay!"
Xu Damao didn't say much, turned around and took two eggs from the cupboard.
It must be said that Xu Damao's quality of life is indeed good. Others just soak instant noodles when they buy them, but he not only cooks them, but also adds eggs. He is a big eater.
It was much simpler for Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. One asked an old lady to boil water and cook noodles, while the other simply used hot water to make instant noodles.
As the seasonings and sauces were thrown into the water, an inexplicable fragrance began to spread in the courtyard.
The aroma of instant noodles is different from the aroma of ordinary stir-fried dishes. It spreads farther and tastes particularly eye-catching.
Jia Dongxu, who was waiting for Qin Huairu to come home, suddenly shuddered.
"Hmm? What's that smell? It smells so good!"
He had just muttered something when Banggeng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly climbed down from the bed and ran towards the yard with his broken leg.
Seeing this, Jia Dongxu turned the wheel and chased after Banggeng, and followed him into the yard.
Good job!
The aroma came from several directions, so it was obviously not just one restaurant making delicious food.
Jia Dongxu was a little puzzled. What was going on? Could it be that the steel mill sent something?
But there’s no reason to give out gifts if it’s not a festival.
While he was still guessing, Banggeng had already run to the backyard and found Xu Damao's house following the smell.
By chance, the door was not closed. Banggeng stepped over the threshold with great effort and saw Hou Guifang pouring noodles into a bowl.
"Xiang, I'm hungry!"
Banggeng didn't care about anything and took a few steps forward muttering, reaching out to grab the bowl.
But before he could touch him, he felt someone grabbing his collar from behind, and then he was lifted up.
"Tsk tsk, you little greedy guy, even greedier than your father!"
Xu Damao stared at Banggeng, his eyes almost filled with disgust.
He hated the Jia family and everyone in the family, including the little kid Banggeng.
“Tui~~Tui~~Tui!!”
Instead of being afraid, Banggeng, who was picked up, launched a saliva attack on Xu Damao.
"Hey, you kid dare to spit at me, I'll give you two slaps."
Xu Damao was furious and raised his arm to slap Banggeng a few times, but was stopped by Hou Guifang.
"Why are you arguing with the child? Put him down now."
Just because Xu Damao is disgusted with the Jia family doesn't mean Hou Guifang is also disgusted with it. On the contrary, she is even somewhat grateful to Jia Dongxu.
If Jia Dongxu hadn't had an affair with Xu Damao, she wouldn't have had the chance to marry into the city and enjoy a good life.
"Get lost! Don't come to my house anymore!"
Xu Damao carried the stick out of the door and slammed it shut.
Banggeng didn't cry when he was being carried away, but when he couldn't eat anything, Banggeng couldn't help it and started crying.
