Today, the cafeteria auntie's hands were not shaking, and she gave each person a big bowl of rice.
People sat together in twos and threes, and the lady in the green headscarf soaked her cold pancake in the soup.
He then carefully divided out most of the food from the large bowl and left it in the lunch box.
"What are you doing? Are you going to take it home to eat?"
The mole lady understood what was going on at a glance.
Many of the workers here do this. They take the big, fat slices of meat and mix them with potatoes and cabbage to make a delicious meal at home.
"My two kids are very skinny, so I'll take this home to nourish them.
We can put it in the tractor and it won’t get damaged even if it’s cold outside.”
The mole lady sighed heavily in her heart. She and her old man had no children, so naturally she didn't know how to love a child as a mother should.
"Oh, if you all stay, I will look ugly if I don't.
It’s really a bargain for our husband!!”
A woman from the village heard what the mole lady said and laughed out loud: "Come on, everyone knows that you two are as close as honey and oil now?"
Her words made the mole lady blush with embarrassment. She spat and said, "Don't talk nonsense here!"
On the other side, Lu Yong parked the tractor in the yard of the cannery and walked quickly towards the commune.
Tractors and bullock carts from several villages are parked here.
For this purpose, Secretary Wang specially asked people to build a shed for the cows, for fear that the cows would be frozen in the cold weather.
The small backpacks brought by the aunts in the village were also placed on the tractor.
There is an old man herding cattle watching over the cowshed, but there is no need to worry about anything getting lost.
Lu Yong went directly to the commune to find his brother. It was a cold day and the cannery didn't provide him with food, so he had nowhere to go but to his brother's house.
Lu Ping handed the key to the house to Lu Yong: "Go ahead, your eldest nephew is the only one at home, go and make something to eat for yourself later."
Lu Ping's wife also works in the commune. She is a registrar in the grain station.
The two of them live in the same yard with their mother-in-law, and usually at noon the mother-in-law cooks and brings it to the children.
Lu Yong came over suddenly and might not have cooked his meal.
Lu Pingcai thought of letting him prepare something to eat by himself.
When Lu Yong arrived at their yard, Lu Ping's son Lu Wenjun was making a snowman with the children in the yard.
"Junjun."
Lu Yong shouted happily, but who would have thought that Lu Wenjun just glanced at him indifferently and continued to build his snowman.
Lu Yong touched his nose awkwardly, and quickly walked to Lu Wenjun's side, wanting to reach out and touch her head: "What's the matter, don't you recognize your uncle?"
Lu Wenjun quickly stood up and dodged, then walked into the house without saying a word.
Lu Yong thought he was being bullied and quickly chased after him.
When he arrived at Lu Ping's house and saw that the house was clean, Lu Yong took off his muddy shoes outside awkwardly.
He patted his chest and said to Lu Wenjun: "Junjun, did someone bully you? Tell me and I will help you vent your anger."
Lu Wenjun was just six years old, an age when he couldn't keep secrets. He raised his little chin and said, "My grandma said that you are all poor relatives who came to beg for money, and she told me not to get close to you."
His words almost made Lu Yongqi explode.
He panted heavily and said angrily, "What do you mean by a poor relative who comes to beg for money?
I am your father's brother, even though his bones are broken, we are still connected. How can your grandma say that?
Besides, every time your father brought you back to Dahe Village, didn’t he bring a lot of things here?
We are asking for money, it's ridiculous."
Lu Yong became more and more angry as he spoke, and he kicked the chair beside him. This frightened Lu Wenjun, who was only six years old.
He opened his mouth and burst into tears. Lu Yong felt very upset.
Over the years, Lu Ping has brought his wife and children home, and everyone is happy.
He didn't expect that his eldest brother's mother-in-law's family would view them this way.
To be honest, although Lu Ping is the child of the team leader, his wife's family conditions are not bad, and both parents are working.
He also had a job in a commune, which seemed to outsiders like Lu Ping was marrying out of his league.
Lu Yong felt a little sad. He waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, stop crying. Go play in the yard. I'm leaving now."
He looked at the small stool that had fallen there, reached out and bent down to pick it up.
He walked out with heavy steps, and the cold wind blowing on the road made him shiver.
He did not go to find Lu Ping, but turned back to the cannery.
Lu Zhiye, who had just walked out of the director's office with a letter of introduction, looked up and saw Lu Yong walking towards him in a daze.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise and stopped in front of Lu Yong: "What's going on?"
Before Lu Yong could say anything, his stomach started to growl.
Lu Yong rubbed his stomach nervously and grinned: "Nothing."
"Didn't you go to your brother's house for dinner?"
"Oh, the road is too far, I suddenly don't want to go.
It’s not a good meal if you’re hungry, so you can have a good meal when you get home in the evening.”
Lu Zhiye seemed to be thinking about something. Almost an hour had passed since Lu Yong left home and came back. It was definitely not like what he said, that the road was too far and he didn't want to go.
What happened in the middle?
After thinking about it, Lu Zhiye called over a few old men who were sitting in the cowshed and eating dry biscuits.
"Come with me to the director's office."
Now that the cannery had just been established, they had only hastily appointed a director of the production department and a salesperson, Lu Zhiye.
The other few people followed, though a little confused.
They saw clearly that Secretary Wang thought highly of the young man in front of them.
“Boom boom boom.”
Director Gong, who was talking to Secretary Wang, was a little surprised and couldn't understand who would come to see him at this time.
"Enter."
Lu Zhiye gently pushed the door open. The heat in the room made the dozen or so people behind him squeeze in.
"Secretary Wang, Director Gong. These people are here to send villagers to work. It's so cold, and they are eating cold pancakes outside.
It's really sad to see this. Can you let them eat in the cafeteria and stay inside the cafeteria at other times?
This way they won't get cold. Of course, they have to pay for it themselves before dinner.
If this matter gets out, it will be bad for the reputation of our factory, what do you think?"
Lu Zhiye's words made the other two people's eyes flash with deep thought. After all, their cannery had just been established, and it was very important to gain a good reputation.
However, Secretary Wang did not speak immediately, but left the decision-making power to Director Gong.
