Chapter 72
Lü Jinjin still couldn't find peace. Ever since she got married, she'd had a bad relationship with her in-laws and seldom visited them. She could go back to her parents' house, but there was nowhere to stay. It seemed she'd have to ask her younger brother to stay with them for a couple of days. Alas! She couldn't do it on her own!
Aunt Zhang came out of the house with a look of surprise and scolded Chen Dali, "What are you yelling for? You woke up the children! What if you scared my Haohao?" After saying that, she slapped Chen Dali.
Chen Dali: "Hey... Aunt Zhang, Haohao is not that crying and ignorant child anymore. Besides, doesn't your Haohao always dawdle and be late? Now that I woke him up, you should thank me."
Zhang Jianyuan tried to smooth things over, "Brother Dali, my mom didn't mean that. Haohao went to bed late last night, and my mom was worried that he wouldn't get enough sleep and would cry."
Chen Dali curled his lips and said, "I thought we'd be scolded when we got home after working all night."
"Brother, go and have a rest for a while. Come to my house for breakfast. I'll call you later!" Zhang Jianyuan pushed Chen Dali into his house.
Bi Chunliu stopped watching them talk, went to the bathroom and then went home.
"Sister, what are we going to eat in the morning?" Bi Weiguo had already finished washing up. When he saw his elder sister coming home, he wiped the water off his face and asked.
Bi Chunliu put the stick in his hand behind the door and said, "You can do whatever you want. Remember to prepare four eggs."
"good!"
After washing up, Bi Chunliu called his two sisters to get up, and the four of them started to eat.
At the dinner table, Bi Qiuguo asked his elder sister about the gang of thieves.
Bi Chunliu: "Shuanzi's father said that the machinery factory was also robbed. There are many thieves over there, but they were all caught. There were three of us here, and one got away. I don't know the other details. I guess you will talk about this when you get to school. By then, you will definitely know more than me."
"Hehe, that's true... Big sister, I'll tell you when I get home. The desk behind me is in the machinery factory compound." Bi Qiuguo replied. I'm looking forward to this school more and more!
Bi Chunliu nodded in agreement. The gang of thieves was caught, and Nie Xiangdong and the others should be happy. After all, no one would ask why Nie Xuesong and Bai Xingzi were arrested.
…
Arriving at the textile factory, Bi Chunliu discovered that Zhao Mei and Wang Hongxia had already arrived. Zhao Mei always arrived early when something was going on, but she hadn't expected Hongxia to show up this time, too.
It seems like this is the hot topic in the whole city...
Zhao Mei: "Chunliu, you're here? Did you catch the thief who ran away?"
Bi Chunliu shook her head. "I don't know, Sister Mei, are there thieves in your house too?"
Zhao Mei slapped her thigh. "Isn't it?! An old lady next door to ours was robbed! It's like this thief knows the map of the rich and poor in our city. More people go to the wealthy families' compounds, and fewer people go to the less affluent areas. He's quite good at allocating money!"
"Ah? The old lady's house was robbed?"
Zhao Mei: "Yes! The old lady's son died a few years ago, and she is alone at home. This incident scared the old lady a lot. My mother-in-law went to see her this morning, and she heard her wake up when the thieves broke in. She wanted to call for help, but when she squinted her eyes and saw the knife in the thieves' hands, she didn't dare to say a word, for fear that they would stab her. Later, the thieves left without rummaging through anything, so she went to call for help. Fortunately, there were only two thieves."
Zhao Mei was scared when she said this, because her house was only one door away from the old lady's!
Wang Hongxia: "I heard a lot of things got robbed in the government compound. The mayor and deputy mayor's homes were both burglarized! The thieves were even apprehended by the Public Security Bureau director, who was on his way home from overtime. They caught six of them in total!"
Bi Chunliu: Wow! These thieves are incredibly brave!
Ren Qian walked into the room, "Are you talking about the thief?"
Zhao Mei nodded and asked her, "Chairman Ren, I heard there were six thieves in your government compound. Were they all caught?"
"Yes, originally we only caught three of them, but the three who ran away happened to meet a few people from the Public Security Bureau who were returning home from overtime, and they were all caught together." Ren Qianjin felt quite fortunate when talking about this. These thieves were too bold and even carried weapons. If they had run away, they would definitely have retaliated. Fortunately, they were caught.
"Oh, are they all here?" Director Lin from the factory office came, followed by a round-faced girl.
Zhao Mei asked her curiously, "Secretary Lin, who is this?"
Secretary Lin: "Dong Tingting is new in our factory office. Our director asked me to bring her here to introduce her to some people." Secretary Lin introduced several people from the union one by one, and Dong Tingting followed behind obediently and greeted them.
After greeting each other, exchanging a few pleasantries, and discussing some things about the Laughing Gang, Director Lin took Dong Tingting back.
"Is this the girl who exchanged jobs with Secretary Huang?" Wang Hongxia suddenly said.
Zhao Mei: "It should be. I don't know whose child it is, but you can tell at a glance that he's not an ordinary person!"
Bi Chunliu nodded, she also saw it.
Ren Qianjin nodded at the three people and said, "Dong Tingting's Dong is the same as our factory director Dong."
The three of them said "oh" in unison and understood.
Bi Chunliu: So he is the second generation of the factory.
Wang Xiaojun arrived on time. Wang Hongxia saw that she looked unhappy and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's all because of those thieves!" Wang Xiaojun gritted his teeth. "I'm so angry! My house was robbed! Even the meat and sauce in the kitchen were stolen!"
"Were the thieves from your place not caught?" Ren Qianjin asked her. She remembered that few of those thieves really escaped, right?
Wang Xiaojun: "They were eventually caught, but the sauce had spilled and the meat had been completely eaten. I don't know how many days they hadn't eaten! My brother was so angry that he beat them up and ended up spraining his ankle..."
Four people: "..."
The arrest of the thief sparked heated discussion in Nanshan City. A thief who had stolen from three cities was caught in Nanshan. What an honor! Even children who had just learned to speak would shout "Catch the thief" when adults talked about this incident!
The men were talking about what they would do if they encountered a thief. The thief who had run away had no chance to escape. The women also gathered together to scold the thief.
Two days passed like this, and everyone was still having fun. When the police caught all the thieves, the place became lively again. Some people even wanted to go to the Public Security Bureau and curse people in person, but finally left in disappointment under the stern looks of the police.
.
Early Sunday morning.
Bi Chunliu and Bi Weiguo were going to Cai's house to meet Master Cai today, so they got up early, had their meal, and changed into appropriate clothes before getting ready to go out.
On the way, Bi Weiguo nervously clasped his hands together, "Sister, if it's Master Cai..."
Bi Chunliu: "Don't think too much. Where's your confidence from the past few days? Since Master Cai wants to meet you, it means he thinks you're good! Stand up straight and be open and confident. Besides, you haven't learned it before. If you can't make a full banquet without learning, then what are you learning? You're going to be a chef in a state-owned restaurant, right? If it doesn't work this time, just practice again. You will definitely be able to do it next time." After saying that, she added, "I believe in you!"
Well, I think I'm doing okay! Although she didn't have children in her previous life, she has watched some TV shows and movies, so she should encourage them!
"Hahaha, great!" Bi Weiguo clenched his fist and encouraged himself, "I can do it!"
The two of them went to find Han Kemei first, and then the three of them went to Cai's house.
Master Cai's real name is Cai Hetai. He is a kind and plump man. His cooking skills are passed down from the Cai family. He and his son now work in a state-owned restaurant.
It is said that Cai Hetai's great-grandfather was a royal chef in the palace. Later, he left the palace and opened a small restaurant. The small restaurant became a big restaurant in the hands of Cai Hetai's grandfather. Later, the restaurant closed down, and Cai Hetai joined a state-owned restaurant and worked there for twenty years.
Cai Hetai was happy since his son was born. He had been married for seven or eight years and finally had an heir. However, his son had only learned 40% of his kung fu in the past 30 years. Later, his grandson was born, and Cai Hetai thought that he could finally train him again. This time, he would train his grandson well from a young age. His grandson would definitely be a good cook. What he didn’t expect was that his grandson was not as good as his son! When his grandson was young, he could recite recipes very well and his little mouth was chattering. This made Cai Hetai very happy. This was the future of the Cai family! When his grandson grew up, he found that it was not the same. When he asked him to wash vegetables, half of the leaves were gone after washing. When he cut meat and vegetables, he cut his hands nine times out of ten. When he asked him to cook, he stood eight feet away and used a pot lid as a shield. People would think he was on the front line. When he asked him to add seasoning, he asked how many grams a little was.
Cai Hetai thought: This is over, this is just a bunch of shit! The craftsmanship that his great-grandfather brought back from the palace with great difficulty is probably going to be lost in his hands...
During that period, Cai Hetai couldn't even sleep well. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw his great-grandfather, grandfather and father coming out in turn to scold him, calling him useless.
The first time Cai Hetai saw Bi Weiguo, he thought he was a good guy. He liked him! Although he looked silly, he was good at chopping vegetables, and his tongue was a plus. He was pretty good!
Cai Hetai narrowed his eyes in satisfaction! His old friend Han Zhong was reliable enough to introduce him to such a good apprentice. Although the apprentice's surname wasn't Cai, it didn't matter. As long as he kowtowed and became his disciple, he would be the legitimate heir of the Cai family! The apprentice's sister was Old Han's daughter-in-law, so he and Old Han were now even closer relatives. Finally, there was an explanation that didn't require any explanation! He should be able to sleep better at night!
After leaving the Cai family, Bi Weiguo couldn't believe it. Was he chosen by the master? Could he learn to cook seriously in the future?!
As they were almost at the state-owned restaurant, Han Kemei said with a smile, "Chun Liu, let me treat you and Wei Guo to a meal? Celebrate Wei Guo's successful apprenticeship!"
Bi Chunliu: "Let's treat you to dinner. You're still speaking up for Weiguo. Thanks to you." Master Cai's daughter-in-law's expression was initially grim, but it wasn't until Xiaomei said she'd wait for her friend to bring her a silk scarf from the Su family that her expression brightened. She understood Master Cai's daughter-in-law's feelings. Her son couldn't learn his father-in-law's craft, but her nephew could. The meat was always rotten in the same pot. And now, a wild boy who appeared out of nowhere had taken advantage of her.
"Sister Han, my eldest sister is treating me to a meal. I'll treat you and my eldest sister to a soda! When I get my salary in the future, I'll treat you, Uncle Han, and Brother Fei to a meal!" Bi Weiguo said seriously, the excited blush on his face still not gone away.
Han Kemei agreed, "Okay, you learn well, Master Cai is very capable!"
"Yes!" Bi Weiguo nodded heavily. He would!
