Han said with a stiff face, "I fried it, but I can guarantee that there was no hair when I fried it. It was Qu Sheng who brought it."

"Han Guizhi, what do you mean? Are you saying that I put that hair there? How can a grown man like me have such long hair? It's obvious that your hair accidentally fell into the food while you were cooking."

"Sister Guizhi, I know you don't want to take responsibility, but you can't throw this dirty water on Qu Sheng's head." said the waiter.

"Yes, Han Guizhi, I just helped you hold it a little bit. Everyone knows that I am a man with short hair, how can I have long hair? Do you still want to say that I deliberately framed you? If I had known, I would not be such a good person." Qu Sheng said, "Manager, you have to make the decision with me."

Han sneered, "If not you, who else could it be? If it was accidentally lost while cooking, then one or two would be fine, but these are obviously three or four strands together, how could it be accidentally lost while cooking?"

After Han said this, the restaurant manager was also a little confused. Three or four strands of hair together did not look like they had fallen off during cooking. It seemed a bit like they were intentional.

"Have you tried to shirk your responsibility? Anyway, I had problems eating at your restaurant, so how are you going to be responsible?" the lady muttered.

"I'm really sorry, how about this, we will remake the meal for you and give you a free meal. Is this okay with you?" The restaurant manager decided to deal with it first.

"You think you can get rid of me just by giving me a new free meal? Forget it! You have to at least compensate me five dollars!" The old lady rolled her eyes and started to blackmail me.

"this……"

In the end, the hotel manager paid five dollars in compensation.

Of course, it is impossible for the hotel manager to pay the compensation out of his own pocket.

"Manager, you have to believe me. I have been working here for so long, how could I do such a thing? It is clearly Han Guizhi who is slandering me." Qu Sheng said.

"Then when the time comes, tell me how those several strands of hair could have fallen together. Am I slandering you? Don't you have any idea?" Han said.

"Alright, alright, since both of you have no evidence and each insists on your own story, then you two will each bear half of the five dollars, and it will be deducted from your salary. Don't let this happen again next time." The manager finally decided to give each of them 50 lashes.

"Manager, this won't work. This was clearly the dish cooked by Han Guizhi. She should be the only one to be fined." Qu Sheng was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that in the end he would have to pay the fine.

Han didn't say anything else: "Okay, manager, I accept the punishment."

Seeing Han's attitude, Qu Sheng started to grumble again: "Manager, look, Han Guizhi has accepted the punishment. She must have done it. Otherwise, why would she accept the punishment so easily?"

The restaurant manager frowned and said, "Okay, I said both of you should be fined, so both of you should be fined. If you make more noise, I will only fine you."

Qu Sheng didn't dare to speak.

Han turned around and went back to the kitchen. She knew that the hair was put there intentionally by someone else and framed her. The hotel manager could not fail to see it. The only explanation was that Qu Sheng was an old employee after all, and the hotel manager favored him. After all, she was just an apprentice who had just arrived not long ago, and there was no evidence to prove that Qu Sheng did it. It was good enough that both of them were punished. This incident also sounded a warning to Han. She must be more careful in the future to avoid being framed again.

Han didn't look very happy after coming back today.

Su Jieru asked her what happened, and Han just shook her head and said it was a small matter that had been resolved.

Then Han found Shen Ruoqing and asked her if she could sell him some more of the cigarettes she bought last time. Shen Ruoqing took out two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes and said, "These cigarettes are one yuan a box."

Han immediately took out two yuan.

"Thank you, Ruoqing."

Han heard from Chef Gao that these cigarettes were not only expensive, but also specially supplied and not available to ordinary people.

Shen Ruoqing knew that his sister-in-law must have been ostracized, but since she didn't tell them, she must have a way to deal with it, so all he had to do was support her silently.

The weather is getting colder and it will be December soon.

Because Wen Jiao worked at a textile factory, she gave them a lot of defective cloth that they didn't need to pay for. Shen Ruoqing also took out a lot of cotton and made a few new quilts.

With money in hand, Old Mrs. Ji was not hesitant. She made new coats for the three brothers of the Shen family and also made new clothes for Shen Ruoqing. However, she was reluctant to make more for herself.

"I already had two sets of clothes last year. There's no reason to make new clothes every year."

The younger ones were not jealous either, as they had already made new clothes last year and were already content.

The farming season is over, and the brigade has more money this year. After discussing with several nearby brigades, they decided to repair the road to the county town. So Shen Xiangdong and Shen Xiangnan went to repair the road again, still 12 centimeters a day. This is the centimeter this time, and it may not be as valuable as last time.

But after all there was something to do, and everyone was still happy.

Han gradually gained a foothold in the state-owned restaurant. Because of her sweet talk and good social skills, she actually succeeded in inciting the waiters to defect.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Originally, the waitress was angry that this position was taken by Han, but it had been so long since the incident, and Han not only did not confront her, but instead brought her a portion of any good things and was always polite to her. Over time, the waitress's attitude softened. In addition, Han often gave gifts to Chef Gao, so Chef Gao taught Han many dishes. Once when Chef Gao was away, Han successfully showed off her skills and was praised by the restaurant manager. Now, Chef Gao sometimes lets Han take charge of the cooking, and his salary has been raised to more than 40 yuan.

On the contrary, Qu Sheng ended up being the only one left alone, as if he was the one being excluded.

Mu Bai also left Dashitou Village this month.

The day before leaving, Mu Bai gave Shen Ruoqing a jade pendant, saying that Grandma Hao had specially asked him to give it to her, and asked Shen Ruoqing to keep it well.

In the evening, Mu Bai invited the educated youth to have a meal at the educated youth center.

"Mu Bai, you are really capable. You got the spot to return to the city so quickly. Today is the last night for us to get together. We must have a good drink." Ding Zhongjiang said while holding up the wine glass.

"Yes, don't forget us old friends when you return to the city," said Ma Weiguang.

Because Mu Bai and Li Zeqian didn't get along, Li Zeqian and Xie Yan didn't come, but the two sisters from the Xu family were still there.

"Mu Zhiqing, you are so willing to leave. I'm afraid someone here will be sad." Xu Rushi giggled and glanced at Shu Lijuan.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. The fact that Shu Lijuan liked Mu Bai was no secret among the educated youth.

"We are all definitely sad that Mu Zhiqing is gone, but we still wish him all the best in the future," Yang Pingfang said to smooth things over.
