Chapter 45 Donate to Shazhu
Even though Liu Lan considered herself knowledgeable, she couldn't help but blush after being teased by Cao Shuang repeatedly.
"You are being taken for granted. I will ignore you!"
After finishing speaking, before Cao Shuang could speak, Liu Lan quickly turned around and returned to the kitchen:
This enemy's few words made her wet her pants. If she stayed any longer, wouldn't she have to go to the vegetable warehouse again?
Since becoming a cook, Fatty's enthusiasm for work has been greatly stimulated.
For the entire day, apart from directing Ma Hua to run around, there was not a single mistake made.
After the workers finished their last meal and Liu Lan and others cleaned the kitchen, Cao Shuang clapped his hands and stood up from his stool:
"Thank you for your hard work today. You can each take some of the remaining food back home."
"Xiao Shuang, this is not good, right?"
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Liu Lan's words, Cao Shuang looked calm:
"If we don't eat these meals today, they will go bad tomorrow. Sharing them among us is at most a way of saving food. Even if the factory leaders knew, they wouldn't say anything."
"Yes, Sister Lan."
Before Liu Lan could speak, the others in the kitchen started to persuade her:
"Wouldn't it be a sin to waste so much food?"
"In that case, let's listen to Master Cao."
The last dissenting voice disappeared, and even Ma Hua, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help but smile.
In fact, even if these meals were not shared among them, there would still not be any waste:
After all, in the past, all of this would have been taken away by Sha Zhu alone. Now that Cao Shuang is willing to share it with everyone, it has brought his own prestige to the peak.
It is no exaggeration to say that some people now hope that Sha Zhu can stay at home for a longer period of time.
"Master, this is yours."
While everyone was busy distributing the food, the fat man took the initiative to hand a lunch box to Cao Shuang.
No one present felt that this situation was wrong:
In this era when everyone was hungry, Cao Shuang's willingness to share food with everyone was already a great favor. Who would dare to be picky?
"Don't do this next time. I can just share it with everyone."
Reaching out to take the lunch box, Cao Shuang gave the fat man a big smile:
It is good for the disciple to be filial, but this thing will be brought back for the Jia family to eat, so there is no need to prepare it so exquisitely.
"I see."
Seeing that Cao Shuang was serious, Fatty did not refute at this time:
Even if they share the food together, would anyone dare to leave the bad ones for the chef?
Carrying a lunch box, Cao Shuang ran into Qin Huairu as soon as he arrived at the factory gate.
"Xiao Shuang~"
Seeing Qin Huairu blushing and kneading the corner of her clothes shyly, Cao Shuang took a deep breath:
If Shazhu were here, he would probably be unable to take his eyes away, right?
"for you."
While handing over the lunch box, Cao Shuang slid his fingers lightly across Qin Huairu's palm:
"Sister Huairu, remember to return the lunch box to me after dinner. Also... don't forget to clean up."
"Hmm~"
Knowing the implied meaning of Cao Shuang's words, Qin Huairu nodded with a red face.
After half a day of planning, she even had some expectations for the evening:
Isn’t the old woman most afraid that I will let Jia Dongxu down, so I’m going to do this!
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu suddenly looked up:
"Don't worry, Xiaoshuang, I will make sure you get clean tonight!"
‘Hiss~’
Looking at Qin Huairu, who licked the corner of her mouth with her tongue and then walked away with her hips twisted, Cao Shuang took a breath of cold air:
Shit, did this woman suddenly wake up?
With Qin Huairu's temptation, Cao Shuang even took longer steps than usual on his way home.
But what made him feel helpless was that as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Yi Zhonghai’s old face.
"You're back just in time. Let's have a meeting in the yard."
"Another meeting?"
Looking at Yi Zhonghai, Cao Shuang's expression was slightly strange:
"Uncle, you are not going to judge me again, are you?"
……
"This time it's serious business."
"In that case, let's listen to it."
Nodding, Cao Shuang ignored Yi Zhonghai's ugly expression and walked into the yard with his hands behind his back like an old cadre:
Sure enough, a large group of people had gathered in the yard at this time.
Seeing Cao Shuang coming in, Xu Damao even grinned widely:
"Xiao Shuang, your cooking skills are much better than Sha Zhu's. Next time there's a chance, I'll go drink with you."
"Okay~"
Xu Damao invited me, so I had to go no matter what:
Not for anything else, just brotherhood!
"Everyone, please be quiet."
As soon as Cao Shuang and Xu Damao finished their conversation, Yi Zhonghai's voice rang out:
"I'm holding a general meeting today to discuss something with you all."
"I'm sure everyone has heard about Sha Zhu's incident."
After a pause, seeing that no one responded, Yi Zhonghai continued:
"Shazhu is a child that most of us have watched grow up. Although he has a bad temper, he is filial and righteous. Now that he has suffered such hardships, we cannot just stand there and say something."
"So I decided to gather everyone to hold a donation campaign to help Sha Zhu relieve some of his life pressure."
After finishing his words, Yi Zhonghai took out five big black tens from his pocket and waved them:
"I am the elder in the courtyard, so I will set an example for everyone and donate fifty yuan!"
"This……"
As Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the faces of the people around him all darkened:
I don’t know whether Sha Zhu is filial or not, but who in this compound hasn’t been scolded by him?
Donate to this kind of people?
Of course they don't want to!
"Huai Ru, Sha Zhu has helped you a lot before, let's start with you."
Seeing that no one had taken action for most of the day, Yi Zhonghai simply started to call out names:
If it were a normal situation, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't care whether anyone donated money to Sha Zhu or not.
But who asked him to help Sha Zhu pay 60 yuan to Wang Hu yesterday?
Yi Zhonghai had already asked when he was in the hospital, and found out that Sha Zhu only had about twenty yuan left on him, so it was basically impossible to pay him back.
In this situation, he could only turn his attention to other people in the yard.
Don’t think that Yi Zhonghai doesn’t care about that little money because he has a high salary. There are many people who evade taxes with a net worth of billions…
"I……"
Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Qin Huairu's eyes instantly turned red:
She could feel that after Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the eyes of everyone around her were all focused on her.
"Uncle, Shazhu has always been very supportive of my family. If possible, I would be willing to donate a hundred dollars."
After a pause, Qin Huairu continued:
“But the problem is, I have no money.”
"My mother-in-law is sick and Banggeng has to go to school. We can hardly even get food to eat at home."
"How about this, can I take some time to go to the hospital to take care of Sha Zhu? After all, he has a broken leg, and it's not convenient for him to be there alone."
‘Pfft~’
Chapter 46 Qin Huairu's Second Attack
Hearing Qin Huairu's doubt, Cao Shuang couldn't help but laugh out loud on the spot:
Yi Zhonghai was indeed good at moral blackmail, but he happened to run into Qin Huairu, a white lotus.
