When she was opening the durian, Zhao Li did not forget to ask Zong Shao, who was sitting far away: "Comrade Zong, you really don't eat durian?"
When she first started dating Lin Wei, Zhao Li politely called Zong Shao by his title, but as their friendship deepened, she stopped calling him by his title and started calling him Comrade Zong.
Although Zong Shao and Ming Ming didn't like the taste of durian, Zhao Li never gave up selling it to them. Every time she brought durian to share with Lin Wei, she would ask a few questions. Maybe they would change their minds one day.
But to this day, the father and son have not changed their minds.
Zong Shao shook his head from afar and said, "You guys eat."
Zhao Li shook her head helplessly and said, "Durian is so delicious, why don't you like it?"
Ruirui and Xiao Shitou, who were standing by the dining table, waiting for her to share the durian, heard this and said in unison, "We all like it very much."
One time when Xiao Shitou was playing at Lin Wei's house, he saw them eating durian. He could accept the taste, so he tried one too, and then he fell in love with it.
This is the case with durian. Most people don’t like to eat it, not because they can’t accept the taste, but because they are blocked by the smell. As long as the taste is acceptable, few people would dislike eating it.
However, no one in Xiao Shitou's family likes to eat durian, and no one knows how to buy it, so he can only get a little bit when Lin Wei and the others are eating it.
Seeing the eager eyes of the two children, Zhao Li smiled and said, "I know you like it. Here, this big piece of flesh is for Ruirui, and this piece of similar size is for Xiao Shitou."
The two children took the durian pulp, sat side by side on the stools and started eating.
When the sweet flesh melted in their mouths, both Little Stone and Ruirui showed happy expressions.
But they were happy, Mingming's mood was not so good. He was just playing the game happily when his two friends were called away to eat.
If they were eating other fruits, he would still go over and eat with them, but they were eating stinky durian, and he didn't want to smell the stinky smell at all like he did in the past.
So Mingming could only step on the stones, lie on the courtyard wall, watch them from afar, and urge them to eat faster from time to time.
Urged by their friends, Ruirui and Xiao Shitou both quickened their chewing and swallowing speed. Fortunately, the durian pulp was limited in size and melted in the mouth, making it easy to swallow. So the two of them quickly finished the pulp in their hands, clapped their hands, and prepared to go find Mingming to play.
But just as the two children took two steps forward, they saw Mingming stretched out his hands in front of his chest and shouted, "Wait!"
Ruirui and Xiao Shitou were puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Mingming replied: "You just ate durian, you should brush your teeth first!"
Facts have proved that people's acceptance can be continuously improved through training. When Lin Wei and Ruirui ate durian for the first time, he clearly didn't want to sleep with them at night, but now, his standards have been lowered to just brushing his teeth.
But Ruirui and Xiao Shitou were a little hesitant.
Although Zhou Jianhai mentioned the matter of his son brushing his teeth to his wife after being despised by Mingming, Xiao Shitou is now watched by Chen Bamei while brushing his teeth every day. Under Lin Wei's discipline, Ruirui had to develop the good habit of brushing his teeth in the morning and evening. But it's not bedtime yet and they really don't want to brush their teeth.
But I am very persistent. Brushing teeth is the bottom line and it really can’t be any lower.
So after a stalemate, Ruirui and Xiao Shitou finally compromised and went back home to brush their teeth.
Watching the confrontation between the three children, Zhao Li, who was eating durian, was so happy that she parroted Lin Wei who had just finished squeezing toothpaste: "I don't want to brush my teeth. If you don't brush your teeth, I won't play with you. Hahaha, these children are so funny."
"Aren't all children like this?" Lin Wei said with a smile.
Zhao Li thought about it, nodded and said, "That's right, it's fun for children of this age, but it will be annoying if they grow older."
"Isn't your daughter very well behaved?"
Zhao Li nodded and said, "My daughter is well behaved, but my son is very noisy. Look at him, he is already six or seven years old, but he still needs to be urged to brush his teeth. He is also noisy when he goes to bed at night. His sister doesn't even want to live in the same room with him now."
Lin Wei said: "At their age, it's time for them to sleep in separate rooms."
Zhao Li said helplessly: "I would like to separate the two of them, but there is no room."
Although Zhao Li's family also lives in a two-bedroom apartment, the two-bedroom apartment in the townhouse cannot be compared with the old house. Zhao Li's house is only slightly larger than the first floor of Lin Wei's house.
The space is not big, and we have to separate the master bedroom, the second bedroom, the kitchen and the bathroom. The remaining space can hardly be divided into a living room and a dining room, and it would be difficult to put a few more chests of drawers.
It's difficult to separate a room from the living room.
In fact, when she first came to join the army, there were quite a few empty houses near the old house, but she felt that the old house was not as good as the townhouse in all aspects. In addition, her two children were young at the time and did not need to sleep separately, so she chose the only two-bedroom apartment left in the townhouse.
At that time, she thought that the house in the family quarters was not fixed once you moved in. She could live in a two-bedroom house for a few years first, and then change to a three-bedroom house when the children grew up.
As a result, after waiting for three years, all the vacant apartments were two-bedroom apartments, and she couldn't move on even if she wanted to.
Thinking of this, Zhao Li couldn't help but sigh: "Sometimes I think, why not move to the old house? Although the conditions are not so good, it is at least spacious."
Lin Wei heard this and said, "If you want to change, just change. There are still empty houses here."
As a result, Zhao Li shook her head decisively when she heard it: "Forget it, it's troublesome to change houses and repair them. Besides, my old Zhang said that Deputy Commander Cao of the Third Regiment is going to be demobilized. Once Deputy Commander Cao's demobilization application is approved, he will apply to change houses."
Although Lin Wei has only been with the army for about three months, she has a good memory and can basically remember the people she has met and the names she has heard.
Although Lin Wei had never met the deputy commander Cao mentioned by Zhao Li, she had met his wife and knew where they lived, so she asked, "Is their house a three-bedroom house?"
"That's right, and their house is considered large even among three-bedroom houses, so after they moved in, they separated a room in the living room, and it was no different from a four-bedroom house."
"Their house is big, but there must be a lot of people eyeing their house, right?"
"It's okay now. He hasn't told anyone about his transfer. Only his old friends in the regiment and the leaders in the division know about it. They told my old Zhang because they have a very close relationship. He also wants to leave the house to us." Zhao Li finished speaking and lowered her voice, "By the way, before things are settled, please keep it a secret and don't tell anyone about it."
People have many children these days, and having two children in a family is considered rare. Most families have three or four children, and the family quarters are no exception.
Therefore, although the smallest house in the family quarters is a two-bedroom house, in fact, many of them are short of housing. Deputy Regiment Commander Cao's house is said to have three bedrooms, but in fact it has four rooms. If the news that their house is going to be vacated gets out, people who want to move in will have a hard time.
That is, before Lin Wei moved in, Zong Shao renovated the toilet and built a kitchen. It was obvious that he was going to live in this house for at least three to five years, so Zhao Li was willing to tell her about this. Otherwise, if it was Liu Dan or Yang Yi, she wouldn't even mention it.
Zhao Li didn't think this way because she was narrow-minded or on guard against her friend, but there was a precedent in the family quarters. After the house was delivered, the one who was snatched away had a big quarrel with the wife of the soldier who snatched it away, and they broke off their relationship from then on.
Lin Wei knew that Zhao Li told her this because she trusted her, so she nodded without hesitation and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone."
Zhao Li felt relieved and looked up at Zong Shao again, not sure if he heard it.
Zong Shao naturally heard it. Although the two of them deliberately lowered their voices, they were not far away and he had always had good hearing. But he was very tactful. When he saw Zhao Li looking at him, he took the initiative to say, "I didn't hear anything."
Zhao Li couldn't help laughing and said to Lin Wei, "There are so many men in our family quarters, but I still prefer to deal with Comrade Zong from your family. He's open and honest."
Lin Wei also laughed: "Don't you think he's scary now?"
In front of Zong Shao, Zhao Li refused to admit that she had said anything bad about him: "When did I think Comrade Zong was scary? Looking at his appearance, does the word scary have anything to do with him?" As she spoke, she winked at Lin Wei.
"Yes, yes, you didn't say it, I just heard it wrong." Lin Wei said, holding back her laughter.
"Of course you heard about it." Zhao Li said shamelessly, and then changed the subject, "By the way, did you hear about the fight between Gao Xiulian and Wang Qing?"
The topic changed so quickly that Lin Wei was stunned and asked, "Wang Qing? Why did they fight?"
"Isn't it said in the family quarters that Gao Xiulian said that there is no distinction between high and low jobs, and as long as you work hard, you will shine wherever you go? She originally said this to mock Wang Qing. Yesterday, Gao Xiulian got into trouble, and the two of them switched jobs. Gao Xiulian went to the kitchen to wash vegetables, and Wang Qing went to the window to get food. Wang Qing used this to mock Gao Xiulian, and then spread it around."
Zhao Li chewed the durian flesh and said, "It seems that after Gao Xiulian heard the rumors in the family quarters, she felt that Wang Qing didn't want her to go back to the window, so she said something to her. She was so angry that she quarreled with Wang Qing when she arrived at the state-owned restaurant in the morning."
Lin Wei: “…”
"I heard that they had a huge argument and even came to blows. The other people at the state-owned restaurant almost delayed the serving of lunch in their efforts to stop the fight... No, what's with that expression on your face?" Zhao Li looked at the people around her in confusion.
Lin Wei: “…They were quarreling, and it seemed to have something to do with me.” She told him what happened in the morning.
Zhao Li snorted and said, "I was wondering how this has anything to do with you. It turns out that this is the case. These words have long been spread throughout the family quarters. If it wasn't you who said it, Gao Xiulian would have heard it from other people. Since she believes that Wang Qing spread the word on purpose, she will definitely cause trouble for Wang Qing. The only difference is sooner or later."
"That's true," Lin Wei nodded and asked, "How did they end up? Was anyone injured?"
"No, there were many people holding him back at the time, and no one was hurt, but there was a big row, and it almost delayed the serving of the dishes. Director Huang was very angry when he found out. But Wang Qing didn't suffer any loss, and she continued to work after being criticized. I saw her when I went to get lunch at noon. She's a nice person, don't worry."
Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "How is Gao Xiulian?"
"Her."
As soon as Zhao Li spoke, she looked up at the Zhao family yard, tilted her head and whispered, "She was the one who started the trouble. And because of what happened yesterday, Director Huang criticized her and stopped her work. He asked her to go home and reflect and write a self-criticism. Huh? Didn't you see her come back this morning?"
"Maybe I was cooking and didn't see it."
"You really should have come out to see her at that time," Zhao Li said gloatingly, "I think she must be mad as hell today. Maybe she won't continue to do this job."
"Who knows. After all the fuss yesterday, she might have gone back to work at the state-owned hotel today, right?"
"That's true, but Director Huang said that if she wants to go back to work, she has to submit a profound self-criticism first," Zhao Li raised her chin, "Do you think Gao Xiulian can write it?"
…
Gao Xiulian didn't want to write this self-criticism at all!
Why?
It was obviously that bitch Wang Qing who plotted against her, so why should she write this letter of apology?
Listening to Gao Xiulian's complaints, Zhao Feng said impatiently: "If you don't want to write, don't write. I'm not forcing you. Why are you yelling at me?"
Gao Xiulian was so angry that she fell backwards. "This matter was not my fault in the first place. Why do you want me to write a self-criticism? Huang only knows how to favor Wang Qing. Not only did they not hold her accountable, but they also asked me to submit a profound self-criticism before I can go back to work. Why?"
As Gao Xiulian was talking, she suddenly realized that there was no trace of anger on Zhao Feng's face. She raised her voice and asked, "Zhao Feng! Are you still a man? Don't you feel anything when your wife is bullied like this?"
Yesterday, Zhao Feng thought that Gao Xiu Lian would not cause trouble again after being transferred to the kitchen. However, today, she was kicked out of the state-owned restaurant because of a fight with someone.
If she could realize her mistakes, Zhao Feng might not be so upset, but she was so unrepentant that Zhao Feng got angry and said, "You ask why I asked you to write a self-criticism? Fine, let's talk about it."
"First of all, even if Wang Qing deliberately plotted against you, you were the one who provoked her in the beginning. What did I tell you before you went to the state-owned restaurant? Keep a low profile and don't cause trouble. But you offended people as soon as you went in. If you were capable, you would have offended people, but you are incapable. You worked from the window to the kitchen, and your situation was reversed. At this time, if she doesn't step on you, will she still praise you?"
"Secondly, let's continue to assume that Wang Qing was deliberately plotting against you. It's been a month since you first offended her. What did she do during this period? No, she did nothing. She patiently waited for you to get into trouble and set a trap for you, making it so that she was blameless."
Although he saw Gao Xiulian's face turn pale, Zhao Feng didn't intend to stop talking and continued, "You didn't even know if the other person did it on purpose, but you went to quarrel with him and even got into a fight. Do you know that no matter whether you are right or wrong, you started the fight first, so you are in the wrong! Even so, you still have the nerve to blame Director Huang for favoring others?"
Although Gao Xiulian was narrow-minded, she was not extremely stupid. As soon as Zhao Feng said that, she realized that she had indeed done something stupid.
But Zhao Feng's words were too ruthless. Gao Xiulian couldn't bring herself to admit her mistake, so she said coldly: "In the final analysis, you still don't want to help me keep my job by asking for favors."
Zhao Feng nodded and admitted: "I think it's a good idea for you not to go back to work at the state-owned restaurant."
Gao Xiu Lian was so angry that she thought, if you don't want me to go back to work in the state-owned hotel, then I will go back anyway!
Isn’t it just a self-criticism?
I wrote!
…
Although she did not think she had done anything wrong, in order to impress Zhao Feng, Gao Xiulian still wrote a letter of apology full of typos.
However, Director Huang asked Gao Xiulian to write a letter of apology mainly to teach her a lesson, so that she would not treat the state-owned hotel as her own home, causing trouble all the time and making it difficult for everyone to do their work.
But he didn't think of using this opportunity to kick her out of the state-owned hotel. After all, she was a soldier's family member, and he had to give Zhao Feng some face.
Therefore, although Director Huang's mouth twitched again and again when he read this apology letter full of typos, he did not embarrass Gao Xiulian and said, "Since you sincerely admit your mistakes, let's end this matter here."
Gao Xiulian was delighted: "Thank you Director Huang!"
"You don't have to thank me," Director Huang waved his hand and said, "From now on, I just hope that you can work hard, don't act on impulse, and get along well with your colleagues. Can you do that?"
Gao Xiulian immediately said, "Don't worry, Director Huang, I will definitely get along well with my colleagues!"
Director Huang was somewhat surprised that she agreed so readily. Looking at Gao Xiulian's style of behavior after the previous two times she got into trouble, he thought that even if Gao Xiulian wrote a letter of apology, she would not really feel that she was wrong.
But now...is it true that being suspended from work and writing a self-criticism is so useful? Has Gao Xiulian really come to her senses?
Although Gao Xiulian didn't know what Director Huang was thinking, she took the initiative to explain when she saw his surprise: "Actually, after hearing your criticism that day, I regretted it in my heart. I have also thought about it seriously at home these few days and feel that I was too impulsive before. The meal I served to Comrade Jiang Ling was half an ounce less. It was indeed my negligence at work. I didn't handle it well at the time, so I quarreled with her to that extent. You had no choice but to transfer me to the back kitchen..."
After reviewing the meal-getting incident, Gao Xiulian continued to talk about the quarrel: "I know that Comrade Wang Qing said those words to me to motivate me. It was my own misunderstanding that led to my thinking too far. Don't worry, after I leave your office, I will definitely apologize to her and ask her to forgive me."
What Gao Xiulian said was much better than what was written in her letter of apology. At least after listening to her, Director Huang really believed that she had recognized her mistake. As for why the letter of apology was written in that way, it was understandable that she had a low level of education and did not recognize many words.
Director Huang was very happy, so he went out and called Wang Qing into the office to help them reconcile.
Hearing that Gao Xiulian admitted her mistake and wanted to apologize to him, Wang Qing couldn't help but show a surprised expression. She and Gao Xiu Lian joined the army at about the same time and had interacted with each other in the beginning as they were both new to the family quarters. But they really couldn't get along and their relationship faded.
Although their relationship had faded, Wang Qing was still very clear about what kind of person Gao Xiu Lian was. How could such a vindictive person not only not bear a grudge against her after he had tricked her, but also sincerely admitted her mistake and wanted to apologize to her?
She really didn't believe it.
Although he didn't believe it, Gao Xiulian spoke up, and there were leaders watching nearby, so Wang Qing smiled and said, "Although I was very upset that you insulted me for no reason before, but since it was a misunderstanding and you apologized to me, let's forget about it."
Listening to Wang Qing's words, Gao Xiulian was very angry, but she pretended to be relieved and said, "Sister is really a generous person. I was narrow-minded before."
In front of Director Huang, the two were polite to each other and quickly reconciled. But after leaving his office, the atmosphere between the two was not so friendly.
Behind the restaurant is a courtyard with two rows of houses built horizontally and vertically. The large kitchen, warehouse and Director Huang's office are all here.
After crossing the yard, Wang Qing suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, congratulations on submitting your apology successfully and returning to work in the kitchen. Since you have come to your senses, I would like to give you one more piece of advice. In the future, don't be so impulsive. After all, not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am, don't you think?"
Hearing Wang Qing mention the self-criticism, Gao Xiulian could no longer pretend and said through gritted teeth: "Wang Qing, don't be so complacent. One day, I will make you pay!"
"Want to make me look bad?" Wang Qing raised his eyebrows, looked Gao Xiu Lian up and down, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you." After that, he turned and walked into the hotel lobby.
Looking at her back, Gao Xiu Lian clenched her fists in anger, then turned around and left the hotel through the corner door.
Although Gao Xiulian spoke so nicely in front of Director Huang, she actually felt extremely embarrassed when she thought about the fact that she had to write a self-criticism before returning to the state-owned hotel.
Because she felt embarrassed, she didn't want to return to work immediately after handing in her letter of apology, so she told Director Huang that she had something to do at home and would go to work the next day.
But after coming out of the state-owned restaurant, her mood didn't improve much.
The news that she had quarreled with Wang Qing and was kicked out of the state-owned restaurant had already spread everywhere. When she returned to work in the kitchen, everyone would immediately know that she had written a self-criticism.
Even people who met her on the street, seeing her coming back from the direction of the state-owned hotel, might have guessed that she was going to submit a self-criticism.
What were they thinking when they saw her?
Are you laughing at her in your heart? Do you also think she is ashamed?
Do you feel like Zhao Feng, thinking that she keeps doing stupid things and is extremely foolish?
The more Gao Xiulian thought about it, the more regretful she felt. How could she be so stupid? Why did he rush to the state-owned restaurant and start a quarrel with Wang Qing just because someone instigated him?
play off?
Yes, provocation!
If Lin Wei hadn't deliberately told her the rumors outside and provoked her anger, how could she have been so angry that she would have quarreled with Wang Qing without thinking!
It’s all Lin Wei’s fault!
Thinking of this, Gao Xiu Lian suddenly stopped and looked up to find that she had walked to the path between Zong and Zhao. Standing here, she could clearly hear Lin Wei's angry voice coming from the Zong family courtyard: "Zong Zeming! Do you want to be beaten?"
Although she spoke in anger, her tone was still light, which was completely different from Gao Xiulian's current mood, which made her feel aggrieved.
Why?
I was in such a mess because of what she said, so why could she smile so happily? Doesn't she feel guilty?
Without asking, Gao Xiu Lian knew the answer was definitely no.
Other people in the family quarters always say how good Lin Wei's character is and how righteous she is, but she knows how hypocritical and narrow-minded she is.
Just like their first quarrel, she said those words out of good intentions, but what about Lin Wei? Her kindness was taken for granted and she was blamed.
After that, when I saw her, her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose, which made people annoyed.
Gao Xiu Lian felt that Lin Wei must have held a grudge against her since the day she ruined Lin Wei's job, and might have been secretly planning to take revenge on her.
Otherwise, Lin Wei had never been seen sitting in the yard in the morning to bask in the sun before. How come she ran into Lin Wei and Yang Yi on her way to work at the right time that day? They even deliberately said so many provocative words.
Lin Wei must have expected this, so she deliberately provoked her, wanting her to quarrel with Wang Qing and then lose her job.
Thinking of Lin Wei's sinister intentions, Gao Xiu Lian calmed down completely and thought to herself, isn't it just that you lost your job, and you don't want me to have an easy life? I don't do what you want!
Not only do I have to work hard, I also have to try to be transferred back to the window from the kitchen as soon as possible, to make you mad!
With this idea in mind, Gao Xiu Lian worked very diligently after returning to the state-owned hotel. Not only did the people in the kitchen look at him with admiration, but even Director Huang couldn't help but think about him.
Since writing a self-criticism is so useful, he doesn't have to think of other punishments when his subordinates do something weird in the future. He can just let them write a self-criticism.
Everyone in the state-owned restaurant: "..."
Although she didn't know what was going on in Director Huang's mind, Gao Xiu Lian felt that her transfer was just around the corner when she saw him looking at her with more and more appreciation and his attitude towards her becoming more and more friendly.
Thinking of Lin Wei's expression when she knew she was transferred back to the window, Gao Xiu Lian would laugh out loud in her sleep at night.
But Gao Xiulian didn't expect that before she could be transferred back to the window, Lin Wei's job was already secured!
