Chapter 163: Shazhu can go to work!
"Mom, my parents eat whole grains every day and they are still not full. I was planning to buy ten kilograms of corn flour..." Yu Li explained with a stiff face. After listening to Yu Li's explanation, Yan's mother's face looked better.
"Let it go this time, but it won't happen again," said Yan's mother.
Yu Li quickly agreed.
Yu Li provided food support to her parents' home this month, but her parents will still not have enough to eat next month. Should she continue to provide support?
The Yan family does receive some food aid every month, but if they really do, it may not be a good thing.
Some things can't be controlled once they start.
Others would say that the Yan family had too much food and could give some food to others every month.
If Yu Li continues next month, Yan's mother will not be polite to her.
How many daughters-in-law in the whole capital city use food to support their parents? If Yu Li's story were to be made public, few people would praise her.
Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li had a conflict, and this spread in the courtyard.
When most people learned that it was Yu Li who took 20 kilograms of corn flour to support her parents' home, they thought she was wrong.
Sha Zhu felt that Yu Li was right. The Yan family was well off, and Yu Li's parents were in trouble, so it was only right to help them. At noon, Sha Zhu went out to help in the kitchen.
Deputy Section Chief Ma from the cannery is holding a banquet today. Hearing that Sha Zhu is a good cook, he asked Sha Zhu to be the chef.
Of course Sha Zhu wouldn't refuse. He could just go for a meal and take some leftovers home. Besides, the other party promised to give him one dollar.
He Yushui has to go to work, so He Yuwei asks Aunt Yi to help take care of his child.
"Grandma, where are you going?" Aunt Yi was looking after Xiao Huaihua and He Yuwei, and saw Xiao Dang helping the deaf old lady out.
"I have something to do outside." said the deaf old lady.
Aunt Yi also has to take care of the children, so she can't leave.
Aunt Yi guessed that the old lady went out just to exchange some food coupons or buy some food.
After walking out of the courtyard, Xiaodang looked at the old lady.
"Go to the food factory." said the old lady.
"Food factory?" Xiao Dang was stunned. Why would he go to a food factory for no reason?
The old lady didn't care what Xiaodang thought.
Speaking of the people in the courtyard, the old lady cares about Sha Zhu the most. She treats Sha Zhu as her own grandson.
Now that Shazhu doesn't have a proper job, the old lady is worried.
After much deliberation, the old lady decided to ask Yan Jiekuang for help.
Yan Jiekuang is now the deputy director of the food factory, and he can arrange for Sha Zhu to work in the canteen of the food factory.
As an old lady, she went to the food factory in person to ask Yan Jiekuang for help, and Yan Jiekuang found it difficult to refuse.
As for whether Yan Jiekuang was dissatisfied with the old lady, the old lady didn't care.
The food factory was quite far away, and the old lady had poor legs and feet and could not walk a few steps, so she took the bus with Xiaodang.
When they arrived outside the food factory, the old lady talked to the guard.
The guard didn't know the old lady, but seeing that she was quite old and a five-guarantee household, he brought a stool for her to sit on. Yan Jiekuang, who was inspecting the workshop, soon realized that the old lady came to see him.
"Why did the deaf old lady suddenly come to see me?" Yan Jiekuang was also confused.
The old lady came all the way from Siheyuan to the food factory, so something must have happened, and it must not be a small matter.
It was not possible to avoid him, so Yan Jiekuang left the workshop and walked towards the factory gate.
"Old lady, why are you here?" Yan Jiekuang said with a smile.
"I, an old woman, have something to ask you." said the old lady.
"You can't say that. What's the point of asking for something? Just tell me if you have anything to say." Yan Jiekuang said quickly.
The old lady didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose.
Upon learning that the old lady came regarding Sha Zhu's work, Yan Jiekuang frowned slightly.
Yan Jiekuang had just started working at the food factory and he had no intention of arranging any more people to work at the factory.
It means arranging people, and starting with family members, for example, arranging a job for my sister-in-law Yu Li.
As for arranging a job for Shazhu, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Sha Zhu is a good cook. If he comes to work in the canteen of a food factory, the food there will be better tasting.
As for Sha Zhu's preference for taking leftovers home, that's also the rule in this industry.
It's just that Shazhu is prone to making mistakes and sometimes can't speak.
The biggest problem is that Shazhu has a stain on him.
The stain of being a labor camp inmate is something Sha Zhu will never be able to wash away in his lifetime.
Arranging a prisoner to work as a cook in the factory would have a bad influence, but the old lady had already asked for it, so Yan Jiekuang was in a difficult position.
"Shazhu is not a bad person and shouldn't be like this now," said the old lady.
Indeed, Sha Zhu has a good heart.
In the courtyard, Sha Zhu is considered very good.
"Okay, let Sha Zhu come to the factory to work tomorrow morning." Yan Jiekuang thought about it and decided to give the old lady some face.
I hope Shazhu can come to work peacefully.
If Sha Zhu made a mistake when he came to the food factory, it would be difficult for Yan Jiekuang, who arranged for him to come to the factory.
However, it was the deaf old lady who came to ask Yan Jiekuang for help. If Sha Zhu did not work hard in the future, he would be the first to let down the old lady.
The old lady also breathed a sigh of relief.
After a few more brief chats, Yan Jiekuang went back to work, and Xiaodang helped the old lady back to the courtyard.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Sha Zhu went home with two lunch boxes.
Today, Sha Zhu was paid one yuan as a kitchen helper and had a free meal. Although he didn't get any fine grains, he did get a piece of meat. The two lunch boxes in Sha Zhu's hand were the leftovers he packed.
Although it’s called leftovers, it’s actually just because Silly Zhu makes a little more when cooking.
One lunch box contained sour shredded potatoes, and the other contained radish stewed with vermicelli.
Although there is no meat, it is still a bit oily.
Because he had gained a lot, Sha Zhu was in a good mood.
After returning to the compound, Sha Zhu left the two lunch boxes at home and then went to the deaf old lady in the backyard.
Aunt Yi is also here with the old lady.
Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua were playing in the yard, while He Yuwei was sleeping in the inner room.
"Shazhu, I have good news for you." The old lady said with a smile when she saw Shazhu.
"Good news?" Sha Zhu was also curious.
"You can go to work at the food factory tomorrow morning."
After hearing what the old lady said, Sha Zhu lost his composure.
Now Shazhu dreams of getting a job, but he is a prisoner and no factory wants him.
Yili Food Factory is a large factory in Beijing. Although its staff is not as large as that of a steel mill, its importance is no less than that of a steel mill.
If you can work as a cook in a food factory, it would be an enviable job.
However, food factories are also very strict in recruiting workers.
Although Sha Zhu is a good cook, the food factory would not want him because he is a prisoner who was expelled from the steel mill.
Sha Zhu was not really stupid. He had figured it out and knew that it must be the old lady who went to find Yan Jiekuang.
"Grandma, did you go find Yan Jiekuang?" Sha Zhu asked.
"You really should thank Yan Jiekuang." said the old lady.
Sha Zhu knew that Yan Jiekuang arranged the job for him out of the old lady's kindness, but he also owed Yan Jiekuang a big favor.
