The people who were quietly eating looked over curiously when they heard Ma Hua say that.
What's going on? These wild vegetable dumplings are so delicious, why isn't Director Jiao eating them?
Why are you vomiting it up?
Could it be that Director Jiao is already tired of this kind of stuff?
What does Director Jiao eat at home all day? He even complains about such good wild vegetable dumplings.
Jiao Min originally wanted to directly rebuke MCA, asking, "Who do you think you are?"
How dare you talk to me like that?
And you made such terrible wild vegetable dumplings, and you still have the nerve to complain?
But when Jiao Min saw that everyone in the cafeteria was looking at her,
Reason ultimately prevailed. Jiao Min suppressed her anger.
He directly rebuked MCA, saying, "MCA, ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! What you said and what you did, ptooey!"
"Hey, Director Jiao, what are you saying? Now that you're a leader..."
They look down on us working class, huh? Pshaw, pshaw, what's going on?
If you look down on the working class, just say so. There's no need for all this spitting.
Besides, my name is MCA, not... ptooey, ptooey, ptooey. If you respect me...
Call me Master Ma, or call me Ma Hua (Ma Hua), I don't mind either.
Ma Hua looked at Jiao Min with amusement, naturally understanding that this was dirt from the wild vegetable dumplings Jiao Min had just eaten.
It was still inside the mouth; Jiao Min's reaction was subconscious.
But those around them didn't know that, and when they heard Ma Hua say that, they clenched their fists in anger.
Especially some veteran comrades, who had long been dissatisfied with Jiao Min's recent haphazard commands, had always been.
They are indeed workers at the machine repair shop, but they have meetings every day and don't come to work. Why is that?
How can I face the organization that nurtured me? How can I face the salary I receive every month?
Even if you really need to hold meetings, you could at least let me hold them after get off work.
Why should we waste our work time on this? It's putting the cart before the horse.
Jiao Min was so angry at Ma Hua's unreasonable arguments that she couldn't speak. That damned Ma Hua!
All I said to him yesterday was a few words, and he dared to treat me like this.
And where are the people who've been by my side these past few days, protecting me on both sides? Why aren't they coming out to help me out?
However, Jiao Min quickly realized what was happening and immediately rebuked Ma Hua, saying, "Ma Hua, you even accused me of wasting food!"
Why don't you tell me what your intentions are? The food is cooked like this, the wild vegetables still have their roots on!
It's still covered in dirt. I think you're deliberately trying to prevent me from eating it.
When Ma Hua heard Jiao Min say this, he didn't rush to refute her. Instead, he pointed to the large characters above the cafeteria's food serving window and said, "I'm saying, Director Jiao..."
"Look what this is! You don't not recognize it, do you? You're the one who had it put up."
Jiao Min blushed when she saw this; it read "Remembering the Bitter Past and Appreciating the Sweet Present" activity.
"Then you should wash the wild vegetables properly! How can we eat them with so much dirt on them?" Jiao Min retorted angrily.
"Director Jiao, you've only had a few days of good times, and you've already completely forgotten what life was like before?"
No wonder the higher-ups made our factory do a "bitter memories and sweet present" campaign; it's all because of people like you!
Life was so tough before, everyone ate wild vegetables with roots and a bit of soil on them, what's wrong, Director Jiao?
You're not going to suggest blanching it to remove the bitterness, are you? Don't tell me...
You didn't know that wild vegetables shrink when blanched?!
Ma Hua's words were righteous and indignant, leaving Jiao Min speechless.
When the crowd watching in the canteen heard Ma Hua say this, they all applauded: "Good, good!"
Comrade Ma Hua said it very well.
"Yes, it's really great,"
"Hmph, Director Jiao, we've all grasped the significance of this event. It's about remembering the bitter past and appreciating the sweet present."
Although life is better now, we need to remember the hardships we endured in the past to truly understand.
These good days are hard-won, but it seems you don't understand.
You're the head of our factory! Not only did you lead the way in defying the movement, but you also led the way in wasting food.
Do you know how hard it is to produce this grain? You're the director of our machine repair shop!
"This is absolutely unacceptable!" Ma Hua rebuked Jiao Min in a deep voice.
After Ma Hua finished speaking, he looked coldly at Jiao Min. Ma Hua's expression seemed cold, but he was secretly pleased.
It has to be said that Yi Zhonghai's moral blackmail and moral coercion tactics are indeed very effective.
Look at Jiao Min. She's not dumbfounded anymore.
Only someone without morals could crack this thing.
At this moment, Jiao Min also panicked. How dare Ma Hua offend her like this?
But I really couldn't eat it; it was so bitter, astringent, and had dirt on it.
But in front of the workers, Jiao Min was momentarily at a loss for words and stood there stunned.
Just then, Liang Ladi, a well-known figure from the machine repair shop who had always been on good terms with Jiao Min, stepped out from the crowd:
Master Ma, what are you saying? Director Jiao isn't wasting food.
"This meal was prepared by Director Jiao for my daughter, Liang Ladi."
"Director Jiao, look at you! You even got my food, how come you secretly took a bite yourself?"
"Hmm, these wild vegetable dumplings smell so good, no wonder." Liang Ladi said, reaching out to take the wild vegetable dumplings from Jiao Min's hand.
In front of everyone, Liang Ladi ate the two wild vegetable dumplings in Jiao Min's hand without changing her expression.
