Upon arriving at the coal mine, Fu Hongxing first took Monkey to see the factory director, and then took him to see the team leader of the underground work group, asking him to arrange a mentor for Monkey to take him down the mine, surnamed Qiu.
Generally speaking, newcomers will always face some degree of exclusion.
After all, many workers in the coal mine have brothers and relatives at home, so there are many people who want to come.
The arrival of a stranger is practically equivalent to taking the place of one's own brother or relative.
However, since Fu Hongxing personally brought the monkey over, and they heard the monkey call Fu Hongxing "brother".
No one dared to make a move for a moment. After Fu Hongxing left, people gathered around him.
However, despite everyone's subtle probing, Monkey followed Fu Hongxing's instructions to speak less and do more.
When pressed by their questions, he just chuckled twice and deflected their questions.
His master originally didn't want to get involved, after all, he had to see what kind of character his disciple was.
Seeing that the monkey remained calm and composed even when pressured by the group, he nodded to himself, thinking that it seemed to be a well-behaved creature.
His initial discomfort with the apprentice assigned to him by the captain has eased considerably.
In addition, although the monkey did not answer what others said, it kept calling him "Master" repeatedly.
This made Master Qiu feel very proud and comfortable.
When lunchtime came, Master Qiu didn't have to lift a finger; his apprentices had already done everything for him, from serving food and pouring water to washing dishes.
As a result, Master Qiu became even more satisfied with this apprentice who had been suddenly assigned to him.
Although he didn't say anything, the monkey could clearly sense that Master Qiu was no longer so averse to him.
After serving his master, the monkey returned to the canteen for his meal.
Unexpectedly, Fu Hongxing had already prepared the food and was waiting for him.
"Brother Red Star".
The monkey happily went up and sat opposite Fu Hongxing.
Fu Hongxing glanced at him and silently handed over the packed lunchbox.
The monkey opened it and its eyes lit up immediately: braised pork and rice?
He picked up his chopsticks and couldn't wait to grab a piece and take a big bite.
Hmm... a bit greasy, and it doesn't taste as good as my sister-in-law's cooking.
The monkey's first thought was to jump to that conclusion.
However, people nowadays are short of oil, and although the taste wasn't as good as his sister-in-law's, Monkey still ate the rice and braised pork in his bowl with gusto.
In no time, more than half of the food in the lunchbox had been gone.
"Hey, Brother Hongxing, why aren't you eating?"
The monkey looked up and saw that Fu Hongxing was staring at him as he ate. Only then did it realize that the lunchbox it was holding should belong to Fu Hongxing.
But Fu Hongxing's eyes were empty; there was nothing there at all.
Clearly, she gave him her share.
"You eat, I'm not hungry."
As soon as Fu Hongxing finished speaking, his stomach started growling.
Upon hearing this, the monkey's eyes immediately reddened.
"Brother Hongxing, I'm full, you can eat!"
As he spoke, he prepared to hand the food from the lunchbox to Fu Hongxing.
Fu Hongxing quickly stopped him, turning his head slightly and saying somewhat awkwardly, "Ahem, you can have these. By the way, where are the corn pancakes your sister-in-law made?"
Oh right, he also had the cornbread his sister-in-law had given him that morning. Monkey's eyes lit up.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out the cloth bag containing the cornbread. Although it was cold, the aroma of corn wafted out as soon as he opened the bag, filling the nostrils of Monkey and Fu Hongxing.
