Chapter 412 Asking for trouble
The employees of the steel rolling mill below were all talking about it. They didn’t expect Professor Xu to be so capable. Uncle Niu stood up and said.
"Xiao Zhu is right. Professor Xu, don't worry. You live in this courtyard. As I said just now, everyone is your relative. If you have any questions, please speak up."
Xu The professor quickly stood up, Zhu Xuefeng shook his head slightly, and Professor Xu could only wave his hand.
“It’s not as bad as what Xiao Zhu said. The new project has achieved some results and may indeed be launched this year. However, this is not the result of me alone. It is the joint efforts of so many employees in the steel rolling mill. Result."
"I didn't say it before, but now I am also a member of the steel rolling mill, and it is appropriate to contribute my meager strength to the development and development of the steel rolling mill. I hope that we can all work together to improve the mill. The business will be more prosperous, and every family can live a better life. Let's do this. Chef He has personally prepared a sumptuous lunch today. Let's get started. "
Everyone is busy. The fuss started, especially a few half-grown men, who quickly cleaned up a bowl of braised chicken without any scruples, which made Bang Jian almost cry. He couldn't steal it from the two brothers of the Liu family and the two brothers of the Yan family. After grabbing a chicken claw, he looked at the two Liu brothers who were feasting bitterly.
"Isn't he just a technician? If Xiao Zhu holds his hand, he will almost reach the sky. The same goes for these people. They stick to each other one by one and have no backbone. Alas!"
The second uncle is on the side. Sigh, no one paid attention. After the year, their team had a safety accident. After the team leader was raped, the second uncle withered and his presence in the compound became very low. No one knew that Chen Rui had been secretly paying attention to him. .
"Professor Xu, who is sitting next to you? You don't introduce me. Is there any happy event coming next?"
Seeing that Professor Xu was a friendly person, he would drink to everyone's toasts. He obviously didn't have the capacity to drink, but now his face was flushed. He still thought that he would welcome everyone who came, and the neighbors down below were also open-minded. I saw the old Liu family in the backyard. Zi took the lead in shouting. He is also an employee of the steel rolling mill.
Professor Xu actually didn’t drink much at this moment. Zhu Xuefeng and Chen Rui were watching, but his face was as red as a cloud beside the sunset. Looking at Chen Rui beside him, Chen Rui was also a little panicked at this moment. The teacher-student relationship is objectionable to many people.
"This, this is my partner. I came here today specifically to get to know you all. Please take care of me in the future..." Before he could finish his words, Professor Xu swayed, obviously drinking too much.
Seeing Professor Xu staggering, Chen Rui quickly stood up and supported him.
"I'm so happy today. He drank a lot, more than he can drink. Please forgive me, everyone. Eat slowly. I'll take Lao Xu to clean up."
"This little kid Girl, you are so elegant, so many people are not afraid at all, Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu.”
Si Zhu was greeting Liu Lan and his apprentice. Logically speaking, they have to eat after the wedding banquet. Xiao Zhu just said that it was just people having dinner together in the courtyard, so there was not so much fuss. The few cooks had been working hard all morning, but they were already hungry. Silly Zhu made sense when he heard it, so he made arrangements for his apprentices and the cooks to start the meal. .
"Grandma, you are looking for me, here you come."
"You were so careless that you disappeared. Grandma is full, please send me back. So much Grandma couldn't stand the noise. "
Silly Zhu had no choice but to help the old lady up and walk to the backyard.
"Zhuzi, have you seen the girl just now?"
Silly Zhu nodded. He had already been introduced and warned by Zhu Xuefeng.
"Well, what's the matter with that girl? She is Professor Xu's target."
"That girl will definitely not be a troublemaker in the future. You should avoid this kind of woman."
< br>"Old Ancestor, what are you talking about? I have to do something this year. This girl is Professor Xu's target. We have nothing to do with each other. Don't make nonsense, it's not good for others to hear."
The old lady freed up a hand and patted the fool on the top of his head.
"You silly boy, is this what grandma means? I'm telling you, this woman is not simple. From now on, don't get too close, or you may hurt yourself."
Silly Zhu didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "Grandma, please be careful. He is an intellectual, and he is not the same person as us who kill pigs and cook. We can't get along with each other. Then I have heard about who Professor Xu is. He is a cadre in the ninth grade of the fourteenth grade. If he becomes an official, he will be a deputy director. We cannot afford this kind of person. Please relax. "< br>
The deaf old lady poked Silly Zhu’s forehead and said, “How can I know what you are thinking? The eldest son of the old Zhu family in the front yard is also an intellectual. Aren’t you also very close? We are almost like a family. From now on, you will become a family. You should pay attention to some things.” No, you are alone now, but you will be a family in the future. There is a certain distance and propriety. Don’t wait until you are disgusted to understand. By then it will be too late and you will not be friends. "
Silly Zhu was a little depressed. He was not taking advantage of the old Zhu family, so why did the old lady speak so unfavorably? However, he was an old man and could not refute, so he could only speak vaguely.
"Thank you grandma for reminding me, I will pay more attention in the future."
What I was thinking was that there was something strange in the yard again. Who was gossiping in the old lady's ear? It was really It's strange. Xu Damao, the shady thing behind the scenes, is gone. Who is here? This person must be from the backyard. There must be no one in the front yard, outer yard, or middle yard who has the shamelessness to go to the back room to talk to the old lady. .
Sent to the old lady, Silly Zhu returned to the table and was still thinking about who it was. Professor Xu must have vomited a lot and came back. His face was a little pale. Chen Rui advised him to go and rest. , Professor Xu didn’t do it either.
“We are the host family today. Let’s go to rest and let everyone sit down in peace. Besides, I just had a few drinks. It’s okay. I just want to try Chef He’s craftsmanship.”
Chen Rui had no choice but to give up and glanced at Zhu Xuefeng. Zhu Xuefeng smiled at her and shook his head. Zhu Xuefeng knew that Professor Xu had not had a few drinks at all, but he had not had time to eat anything. Everyone was quiet now, so he could eat something. .
"Professor Xu, I see you are not too young. Since you have a partner, when will this happy event be held? There are really many happy events in this yard this year. If you want to do it too, the front yard, middle yard, The backyard is full of life, haha, uncle, do you think our compound will be blessed with good fortune and happy events this year?"
Everyone started to talk happily about the happy events in the third uncle's family. Everyone knows it, even Silly Zhu knows a lot. "Zhuzi, when will your happy event be held? Will you be with the eldest son of the third uncle's family? It would be fun if we could get together, hahaha. Where are you, Professor Xu?"
Professor Xu’s pale face turned red again, “I’m not in a hurry, I’m not in a hurry, it’s still early.”
There was nothing they could do if Chen Rui didn't graduate. The relationship between the two was also one of the reasons why Chen Rui left school at that time. There has never been a shortage of teacher-student romances on campus, and there may be very few of them. Most of them are students and students. Both teachers were criticized and then died.
"Don't think about it. Professor Xu has to wait until he is assigned a new house to do things. He thinks he is just like you. He is a key talent and will not live here for long. He is waiting for his family members outside the city. After the area is built and the water and electricity are connected, we have to move out.”
The second uncle also drank a lot of wine and made a rare noise, and the whole courtyard suddenly became silent.
Everyone knows that the factory is building a family area. It is said that the total area is not small, and there are many houses. Those who have tight accommodation conditions have long taken notice, but the factory has never heard of any distribution plan. I heard that a newly transferred technician could be allocated a new house, which made me feel quite uncomfortable. You must know that everyone has worked in the steel rolling mill for so many years, and now the housing allocation is based on seniority. Many people looked at Professor Xu. His eyes changed unconsciously.
Professor Xu knew in his heart that the factory had told him about this. Considering that it was close to the factory and would be convenient for working overtime in the future, he agreed at that time. Unexpectedly, everyone looked at him differently now.
Chen Rui also knew about this, but now she was helpless and unable to speak. She could only look at Zhu Xuefeng for help.
Zhu Xuefeng didn’t know how the factory arranged this matter, but he was very angry when he saw that the second uncle disturbed the lively atmosphere with just a few words. Professor Xu was supposed to be his maternal uncle, so why? Neng was put on the fire by the second uncle without knowing why.
"Second uncle, if the factory assigns a house to your new family, would you be willing to move?"
As soon as the second uncle finished speaking, he regretted it. Why should he be a standout if he has nothing to do? This is good. Well, the eldest son of the Zhu family just threw the conflict on himself.
The huge head turned rapidly, and it took a while before he spoke leisurely.
"I'm not moving. I've lived here for so many years and I'm used to being with the neighbors. Whoever has nothing to do is just messing around and moving somewhere."
"That's right, that place is outside the city anyway. Who among us is willing to move outside Sijiucheng? Besides, it’s free to cook with gas. I have a good supply of firewood and coal, and we can even make a kang in the winter.”
Old Niu glanced at Zhu Xuefeng and expressed his thoughts loudly. There were only three people in their family and it was good to live here. The new family area was built near the factory. It was also out of Dongzhimen. According to current parlance, it was the city. Outside, the surrounding area is surrounded by woods and is very desolate.
“My family is not moving either. Our house is bought. We only need a place to live in the city. Who wants to live outside the city? It’s inconvenient to do anything except go to work. It’s great for us. It’s next to us. It’s Shichahai Park, a few steps away from the square, and department stores. There are none of these outside the city, and you have to go all the way back to buy something.”
There are also many people who don’t want to move. Express your own opinions. Indeed, there are no supporting facilities in the new family area. This is not something that the steel rolling mill can solve in the short term. No one lives there. It is impossible for this supporting facilities to be included in the planning. Where can it be like Nanluoguxiang, which is close to the heart of the motherland? place than.
“We won’t go home either. There isn’t even a school in that place. If our children go to school and have headaches, we can’t afford it.”
“Whoever wants to move should contact us in advance. Say hello to my family. Everyone knows that our house is in a tight situation. If you want to move, I will go to the street office to apply. Thank you for your support.”
The third uncle definitely has no hope of leaving. See Rolling Steel. The factory had another chance to allocate a house, and it was estimated that there would be no chance of his son becoming a full-time employee, so he quickly got up and said hello to the neighbors.
Zhu Xuefeng looked around and just said, "Oh, no one wants to move our relationship. It just so happens that our family will definitely not move. Third uncle, we are still neighbors, haha."
"You kid is not an employee of our steel rolling mill now. Even if you want to move, you won't be able to move. I definitely won't move. I'm already emotionally attached to living in this yard."
Silly Zhu interrupted Zhu Xuefeng again, and his words made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere slowly changed again.
The children's table next to me finally made a noise, and I heard Bangge crying.
"Liu Laoer, you are not a human being. You will rob everything. Uncle Silly, the chicken drumstick you just gave me was snatched by him again. Please help me grab it back."
Silly Uncle He was picking up vegetables from the soup pot with his back on his back. He turned around this time. Just now he saw the two brothers of the Liu family fighting for joy. There were so many people. He didn't say much. He just secretly added "Stay" to Banggeng. Unexpectedly, the chicken legs were snatched away by two brothers again, and the two boys from the Yan family were watching eagerly.
"Second uncle, you don't care about your two younger children. Your older child is a teenager. He is always fighting with a little kid. If you say it, it will make people laugh. This is not an embarrassment to your second uncle." "
The second uncle felt angry. For more than half a year, he always used his salary to buy some snacks to supplement the overtime work of the team members. The food at home has dropped a bit, but these two bastards are too Shameless, in front of so many people, he just fought with a table full of brats. No one said anything just now. He was feeling happy in his heart. But now that he was yelled at by Silly Zhu, he couldn't help it anymore.
He quickly got up and walked over. When the two brothers of the Liu family saw me coming, they were also panicked. Liu Guangtian glanced at the chicken legs reluctantly, threw them into the stick bowl, and ran away without looking back. Liu Guangfu When he saw his second brother running away, he was also very excited and ran away. The second uncle looked at his two sons who flew out of the middle courtyard and shouted.
"If you have the guts, don't come back. It's a shame."
Banggeng held the chicken legs with tears in his eyes and began to chew them. From time to time, he wiped his tears with his oily little hands. Qin Huairu also hurried He came over and scolded in a low voice, but ignored the stick and concentrated on dealing with the chicken legs.
"Don't laugh, everyone, they are all children. When children are not greedy, haha, there is still half a pot of chicken soup. If there is no table, come and add more."
Silly Zhu raised the big spoon and shouted loudly. The aunts and daughters-in-law on the side all laughed. Qin Huairu glared at Silly Zhu resentfully. Silly Zhu was shocked by the glare. He felt very uncomfortable. You are so good at giving your son chicken legs, and then Trying to smooth things over for him, and getting glared at, it doesn't matter, but what's going on with Sister Qin's eyes full of sadness, I don't understand...
After the interlude, everyone continued to laugh, eat and chat, and the courtyard became crowded and lively again.
