Chapter 549 Leftovers!
At around seven o'clock in the evening, the once bustling canteen gradually returned to normal. The chef, who had been busy all day, looked at the employees sitting in the canteen eating and shouted to the workers in the canteen: "It's getting late. Except for the staff on duty in the cafeteria, everyone else should give a share of today’s leftovers and go home from get off work.”
Zheng Daya, who had been working in the cafeteria all day, heard the words of the cafeteria chef and saw everyone taking lunch boxes to pack today's leftovers. She immediately took out the lunch box containing steamed buns from her cloth bag and put the contents inside. Put the three steamed buns into the cloth bag, and then take the lunch box to the waiter to put the leftovers.
"Thank you, Sister Wang!" Zheng Daya saw the waiter helping him stir-fry cabbage with a spoonful of lard residue and half a spoonful of fried pork slices with chili. Zheng Daya expressed her gratitude to the waiter with a grateful look on her face.
When the waiter heard Zheng Daya's thanks, he smiled and said to Zheng Daya: "Daya! Our canteen has regulations. On the first day of work, you can get some extra leftovers, so you don't need to thank me specifically."
Zheng Daya looked at the leftovers that contained almost half of the lunch box in her hand, as well as the dishes she had specially left for lunch. She thought of her parents and two younger brothers at home. She immediately put the lunch box into her cloth bag and happily carried the bag. Walking towards the outside of the cafeteria.
After walking for more than half an hour, Zheng Daya finally returned to the courtyard. When she saw her mother and brother sitting in the front yard watching TV, she immediately shouted: "Mom! I'm back."
Sister Zhou, who was waiting for Zheng Daya in the front yard, heard Zheng Daya's shout and immediately looked in the direction of the gate. When she saw Zheng Daya, she quickly stood up from the stool and greeted Zheng Daya happily. Daya said: "Daya! You are back!"
When Zheng Daya heard Zhou Damei's words, she subconsciously wanted to bring her back the news about the two boxes of leftovers and tell her mother. When she saw the residents in the courtyard, she immediately resisted this thought and spoke to Zhou Damei. Said: "Mom! You call Xiao Wu and Xiao Bin, let's go home, I have good news to tell you."
After hearing what Zheng Daya said and seeing the bag in Zheng Daya's hand, Sister Zhou immediately walked to where she was sitting before, took the stool she brought from home, and shouted to the two children: "Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu! Bin! Your eldest sister is back, let’s go home quickly.”
Xiao Wu, who was watching TV, heard his mother's words. He didn't even look back and replied: "Mom! I'm watching TV. You and my sister go home first!"
When Sister Zhou saw that the two children were unwilling to go home, she did not force them. She smiled and said to Zheng Daya, "Daya! If your brother and the others want to watch TV, let them watch. We, the two of us, will go home first."
Zheng Daya followed her mother back home with a cloth bag. When she saw her father sitting at the table pasting matchboxes, she immediately shouted happily: "Dad! I'm back from get off work."
When Zheng Laoer heard Zheng Daya's shout, he subconsciously raised his head and saw Zheng Daya with sweat all over his head. He asked Zheng Daya with concern: "Daya! Are you used to going to work today?" ”
Zheng Daya walked quickly to the dining table, put the cloth bag in her hand on the table, and replied with a smile: "Dad! Mom! Because of Brother Patriot, my colleagues in the cafeteria take good care of me."< br>
After Zheng Daya said this, she immediately took out three white-flour steamed buns and two lunch boxes from the cloth bag, and happily said to Zhou Sister and Zheng Laoer: "Mom and Dad! These are the white-flour buns I brought back from the cafeteria, and there are also There are two boxes of vegetables.”
"Daya! It's your first day at work today, how can you bring something back from the cafeteria? By doing this, aren't you embarrassing your patriotic brother?" Sister Zhou's face suddenly sank when she saw the white-faced steamed buns that Zheng Daya took out. , scolding Zheng Daya with a dissatisfied look on his face.
When Zheng Daya heard her mother's scolding, she immediately realized that her mother had misunderstood her. She quickly replied: "Dad! Mom! These three white flour buns and a box of vegetables are my lunch rations. The other box of vegetables is Any leftovers from the canteen in the evening can be brought back by the canteen workers.”
When Sister Zhou heard Zheng Daya's explanation, she showed a dubious expression on her face, and asked Zheng Daya: "Daya! Are you sure you are not fooling me?" When Zheng Daya heard Zhou Daya's question, she nodded with certainty. Nodding, he replied: "Mom! The workers in our canteen can have a free meal at noon. The standard for each person is three steamed buns and a box of vegetables. At noon, I ate the steamed buns I brought in the morning and kept the white flour steamed buns. .”
"When I got off work in the evening, there were some leftovers in the canteen. Each worker in the canteen could share some. Since it was my first day at work, Sister Wang gave me a full box!"

After hearing the situation introduced by Zheng Daya, Sister Zhou began to believe what Zheng Daya said. She looked at the two lunch boxes in front of her and asked Zheng Daya curiously: "Daya! I didn't expect the canteen of the patriotic unit. The welfare meeting is so good, right! What kind of food are in these two lunch boxes? ”
When Zheng Daya heard her mother ask about the food in the lunch box, her face immediately showed excitement. While opening the lunch box, she introduced: "Mom! At noon, the cafeteria provides fried meat with green peppers, braised fish cubes, and fried shredded potatoes! The leftovers at night were fried cabbage with lard residue and braised eggplant! ”
The moment the lunch box was opened, a scent immediately came out of the lunch box.
Seeing the two large lunch boxes full of vegetables, Sister Zhou had an incredible expression on her face and blurted out: "Da Ya! These are all meat dishes. The benefits in your canteen are also great!"
When Zheng Daya heard what Sister Zhou said, she said happily: "Mom! I haven't eaten dinner yet. Please heat up these dishes quickly. Let's improve the food."
When Sister Zhou heard Zheng Daya's words, she immediately nodded and replied: "Daya! I'm going to heat up the dishes. You hurry up and call Xiao Wu and Xiao Bin back."
Hearing Sister Zhou's words, Zheng Daya nodded immediately and said, "Mom! I borrowed these two lunch boxes from the canteen. Remember to find our lunch boxes later. I will take them to work tomorrow. .”
When Sister Zhou heard what Zheng Daya said, she replied happily: "Daya! You are on your way. I will help you wash the lunch box later and let you take it to the work tomorrow."
When Zheng Daya heard her mother's answer, she immediately walked outside the house.
Zheng Daya walked to the front yard, came to the side of her two younger brothers, and shouted to them: "Xiao Wu! Xiao Bin! Stop watching TV and go home with your sister."
Xiaobin heard Zheng Daya's words and said reluctantly: "Sister! Just let me watch for a while!"
When Zheng Daya heard her brother's answer, she put her head to the ears of her two younger brothers and whispered: "Xiao Wu! Xiao Bin! Sister brought leftovers from the canteen today, and there was pork in them. If you don't go back, , then I will eat with my parents first.”
"What! Pork! Sister! Are you sure you're not lying to me." When Xiaobin heard Zheng Daya's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked Zheng Daya.
Zheng Daya heard her brother's inquiry and replied with a smile: "Believe it or not! I'm going back first."
