Chapter 48 Means
Not long after Jia Zhang fell asleep, Qin Huairu returned to the yard with a chicken weighing four or five pounds, followed by Bang Geng.
"Banggeng, be good. We'll have chicken at noon. Don't tell anyone." Qin Huairu whispered to Banggeng.
"Mom, I know. I won't tell anyone." Banggeng responded obediently.
"Well, Banggeng is such an obedient child." Qin Huairu stroked Banggeng's head gently and said with satisfaction.
The two of them walked into the house cautiously. At this moment, Jia Zhang was sleeping quietly.
Qin Huairu glanced at him, frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
"I'm working hard outside to buy chickens, cook and wash clothes, but you're sleeping peacefully here and not helping me at all," Qin Huairu complained in her heart.
However, she was reluctant to give up her current life.
After all, life here is much better than in the countryside.
"Bang Geng, keep your voice down and don't disturb grandma's sleep."
Qin Huairu whispered the instructions while looking vigilantly at the sleeping Jia Zhang.
Bang Geng nodded vigorously, looked at Jia Zhang's sleeping face, and grumbled somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Grandma is so lazy, not diligent at all, and so greedy."
A 6-year-old child begins to have his own judgment and understanding.
Jia Zhang also felt that the two men had returned, but she was too lazy to pay attention. She did not sleep well in the police station and it was not as comfortable as at home.
I slept until noon.
Qin Huairu prepared the meal, and Banggeng was already sitting at the dining table, waiting for the chicken cooked by Qin Huairu to be served.
Jia Zhang woke up when she smelled the food. When she saw the chicken cooked by Qin Huairu being served on the table, she immediately got up and went to the table.
Jia Zhang picked out both chicken legs, fearing that they would be snatched away by the two men.
"Come on, dear grandson, eat the chicken leg."
Jia Zhang picked up a big chicken leg and put it in Banggeng's bowl, saying in a friendly manner.
"Thank you grandma!" Banggeng said happily.
"Oh, you're welcome. Eat quickly! Eat quickly!"
Seeing Banggeng's thanks, Jia Zhang immediately smiled happily. She watched Banggeng eat the chicken leg intently, with a satisfied smile on her lips.
Qin Huairu watched the two of them eating heartily, feeling a little helpless and bitter.
Seeing that Qin Huairu was so tactful, Jia Zhang didn't say much.
For a moment, only the sound of chewing remained.
Soon, Jia Zhang began to eat voraciously. Before she finished, she picked up a piece of chicken. Bang Geng, who was watching from the side, unconsciously followed suit.
"Bang Geng, eat your meal well!" Qin Huairu stopped him at the right time.
"Qin Huairu, what do you want to do? Do you need to teach me how to eat sticky rice?" Jia Zhang immediately yelled at Qin Huairu.
"Mom, haven't you seen what Bang Geng is like? If I don't teach him well, what will happen in the future?" Qin Huairu said aggrievedly.
"Bang Geng is still so young, there is no need to teach him yet. He can eat whatever he wants, you don't have to control him!"
Jia Zhang said this rudely, picking up a few pieces of chicken for Bang Geng.
"Thank you grandma!" Banggeng thanked and thought to himself: Grandma's way of eating is really good, I can eat a few more pieces of meat every time!
Qin Huairu watched Jia Zhang spoil Bang Geng, but she could do nothing about it
Perhaps from this moment on, Bang Geng was gradually becoming what it later became.

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai went to work at the steel mill in the afternoon.
Among all the disciples of Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu is the worst one.
Although many years have passed, he is still only a first-level worker, while the apprentices who came in at the same time as him are now at least third-level workers.
Yi Zhonghai was increasingly disappointed with Jia Dongxu's performance.
At the same time, Jia Dongxu often took advantage of Yi Zhonghai's reputation and power to be lazy and cunning.
In the past, Yi Zhonghai always assigned some difficult workpieces to others, while Jia Dongxu always got some relatively simple workpieces.
Now, because of the matter of Jia Zhang, conflicts broke out. Yi Zhonghai no longer intends to protect Jia Dongxu, and at the same time he also wants to teach the Jia family a lesson.
Yi Zhonghai went straight back to the workshop and found the workshop director.
"Director, do you think there are any difficult tasks that have not been assigned? Let Xiao Jia do them," Yi Zhonghai suggested.
"Oh! What a sun is out today, Yi Gong, you actually let Jia Dongxu handle that difficult workpiece, this is really a strange thing." The workshop director was surprised. "Alas~ Is it because Xiao Jia's ability is always not improving? I just want to put some pressure on him, maybe this will work." Yi Zhonghai explained helplessly.
"Well, that makes sense. However, I'm afraid Jia Dongxu may not be able to do the job well when the time comes..." The workshop director hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry, I will do what Xiao Jia can't do!" Yi Zhonghai assured.
"Okay, I feel relieved with what you said, Mr. Yi, but today's tasks have already been assigned, so it's difficult to divide them up." The director paused for a moment and then said:
So, I will give tomorrow's workpiece to Jia Dongxu, Mr. Yi, what do you think?"
"Okay, no problem." Yi Zhonghai replied.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." After saying that, the director walked towards the warehouse manager and took some unprocessed steel.
Although Yi Zhonghai wanted to add pressure to Jia Dongxu, the workshop director knew Jia Dongxu's abilities and only took 5 workpieces.
Even if Jia Dongxu cannot complete any of them, it doesn’t matter, because Yi Zhonghai will take over behind him.
Yi Zhonghai also returned to his bench and continued to make the workpiece.
After a while, the workshop director found Jia Dongxu, who had completed his task but had nothing to do.
"Jia Dongxu, this is your urgent work for the afternoon. Do it when you have time."
"Director, didn't the task have been assigned this morning? Why is it my turn again?" Jia Dongxu asked in confusion.
"This is a temporary emergency task. Okay, just do it."
After saying that, the workshop director left.
Jia Dongxu looked at these workpieces and began to worry, "I have only done this a few times before, how can I do it well?"
After thinking for a while, Jia Dongxu said to himself, "Yi Zhonghai is my master anyway, so it's okay to do it for others."
Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu handed the workpieces to the workers next to him.
However, the workshop director had been paying attention to Jia Dongxu, and when he saw him like this, he reminded him:
"Jia Dongxu, make this workpiece yourself. Don't think about handing it over to others. Others have workpieces to make."
Jia Dongxu seemed somewhat embarrassed when his intention was discovered by the workshop director, and he could not help but look in the direction of Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai heard the voice but didn't look back.
"Jia Dongxu, why are you just standing there? Why don't you do anything?" the workshop director shouted.
Hearing this, Jia Dongxu had no choice but to pick up a workpiece and start working on it. After a few strokes, he couldn't help but put down the work in his hands, took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to leave.
A worker nearby stopped him and said, "Jia Dongxu, you haven't even finished your work yet, and you're leaving already."
"It's okay. It doesn't matter whether I do it early or late. Besides, my master is an easy worker. There's no way he can't finish it."
After saying that, Jia Dongxu left.
When the people around heard Jia Dongxu's words, they all showed envy and jealousy in their eyes.
They envied Jia Dongxu for having a master who was a seventh-level worker, and that he could be taken care of in every aspect of his work in the workshop.
I am jealous that Jia Dongxu has been working in the steel rolling mill for six years but is still just a first-level worker.
If your master is Yi Zhonghai, let alone reaching level four, you should at least reach level three.
Only Jia Dongxu dares to be so unambitious and yet still receive the protection of Yi Zhonghai.
After Jia Dongxu left, Yi Zhonghai also finished a task and looked towards Jia Dongxu's position. Seeing that he was not there, he did not care.
Whenever he was around, no matter if he was the workers or the workshop director, they dared to say anything about him, just because he was a seventh-level worker.
However, the steel rolling mill also has eighth-level workers. Although they don't like this kind of behavior, these are other people's apprentices, and the master doesn't care, let alone other people.
Besides, in the past, the work that Jia Dongxu could not finish or do well was done by Yi Zhonghai.
With such a seventh-level worker as a backup, and the fact that Yi Zhonghai now has the possibility of being promoted to an eighth-level worker, naturally no one would say much.
Although everyone was somewhat dissatisfied with Jia Dongxu's words and deeds, Yi Zhonghai's position in the workshop was there.
Although some were jealous that Jia Dongxu was able to receive Yi Zhonghai's protection, they also knew that this was a fact that could not be changed.
