Chapter 433: Discuss becoming a disciple!

At around 1:00 p.m., Qin Huairu finished her housework and rode her bicycle to the steel mill.

"Brother Dongming! Have you arranged everything for Xiaojun?" Qin Huairu parked her bicycle and went to Jia Dongming's office immediately. Seeing Jia Dongming sitting at his desk, she couldn't wait to ask Jia Dongming.

When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu's question and saw that she was out of breath, he smiled and said to her, "Huairu! I have personally taken Xiaojun to the second workshop to find Director Liu to handle Xiaojun's employment procedures. I guess Xiaojun should be in the second workshop now, familiarizing himself with the workshop environment with Master Cai."

Qin Huairu finally put down her worries after hearing what Jia Dongming said. She quickly thanked Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! Thank you."

When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu's thanks, he smiled and said to her, "Huairu! Do we still need to say thank you to each other?"

When Qin Huairu heard Jia Dongming's words and thought about the life she had lived for more than a month, tears kept flowing out of her eyes. She said to Jia Dongming with a choked voice: "Brother Dongming! If it weren't for your return, I would still be worried about firewood, rice, oil, salt, vinegar and oil. If it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't have the opportunity to go to the city to work as a worker."

When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu's crying, he wanted to hug her and comfort her, but considering that this was an office, Jia Dongming smiled and said to her, "Huairu! This is an office, you have to be careful about the impact, so that others don't hear it and think I did something to you."

When Qin Huairu heard what Jia Dongming said, she remembered that this was Jia Dongming's office. She quickly reached out to wipe her tears and said to Jia Dongming with a smile: "Brother Dongming! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have suddenly lost control of my emotions."

When Jia Dongming heard what Qin Huairu said, he thought of the dinner he had invited Liu Chaoyang and Cai Changzheng to in the evening, and he quickly said to Qin Huairu: "Huairu! Xiaojun will come to my place later, then you can take him to your logistics warehouse to get the labor protection supplies. In addition, I will invite Director Liu and Master Cai to dinner in the evening, then let Xiaojun eat with me."

Qin Huairu was even more touched when she heard Jia Dongming say that he would treat Liu Chaoyang and the others to dinner in the evening, because she knew that Jia Dongming made such an arrangement to pave the way for Qin Xiaojun in the evening. She thanked Jia Dongming again: "Brother Dongming! Thank you on behalf of our whole family."

Seeing that Qin Huairu was about to cry again, Jia Dongming quickly teased her, "Huairu! Don't your tears cost money? Why are you crying again?"

"Brother Dongming! I'm back." Just as Jia Dongming was teasing Qin Huairu, Qin Xiaojun's voice suddenly came from outside the office.

When Qin Huairu heard Qin Xiaojun's shout and learned that Qin Xiaojun had returned, she quickly raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.

Qin Xiaojun quickly ran into Jia Dongming's office and saw Qin Huairu standing in the office. He greeted Qin Huairu with a look of surprise, "Sister! So you are here too!"

Qin Huairu saw Qin Xiaojun running into the office with a happy face, and asked Qin Xiaojun with concern: "Xiaojun! Have you seen Master Cai?"

When Qin Xiaojun heard Qin Huairu's question, he immediately nodded and replied, "Sister! Director Wang took me to see my master, and my master also arranged a senior brother to take me to familiarize myself with the environment in the workshop."

After hearing what Qin Xiaojun had introduced, Qin Huairu said to Qin Xiaojun, "Xiaojun! Since you have accepted Master Cai as your teacher, you should learn from him well in the future."

"But we still have to be polite. Tomorrow I will send a message to my father and ask him to come to the city. Then we will prepare a banquet and let you formally worship Master Cai as your master."

When Qin Xiaojun heard Qin Huairu's instructions, he immediately nodded and replied happily: "Sister! I will follow your arrangements."

At around five o'clock in the evening, Jia Dongming calculated the time accurately and led Qin Xiaojun, who was wearing work clothes, out of the security building. From a distance, he saw Liu Chaoyang and Cai Changzheng walking towards them.

When Jia Dongming saw the two, he immediately stepped forward and greeted them warmly, "Director Liu! Master Cai! You are here. Please come this way."

Qin Xiaojun, who was standing next to Jia Dongming, greeted Liu Jianshe and Cai Changzheng politely when he saw them: "Hello, Director Liu! Hello, Master!" Jia Dongming led the two into the canteen and shouted through the window to Master Hong who was serving food inside: "Master Hong! I can serve the food now."

When Master Hong heard what Jia Dongming said, he immediately responded with a smile, "Director! The dishes have been prepared a long time ago and are being heated in the pot. Please go into the private room first and I will serve you the dishes right away."

Qin Xiaojun was probably reminded by Qin Huairu. When everyone entered the box, Qin Xiaojun did not sit down immediately. Instead, he picked up the wine on the table, first poured a glass for Jia Dongming, and then poured a glass for Liu Jianshe and Cai Changzheng respectively, and then walked to his seat and sat down.

Seeing Qin Xiaojun's cleverness, Jia Dongming's eyes flashed with approval. He smiled and said to Li Jianshe and Cai Changzheng, "Director Liu! Master Cai! I didn't prepare anything specially tonight. I just asked Master Hong to cook a few of his specialties. After Xiaojun's father comes to the city in a few days, we will set up a special table for apprenticeship, and let Xiaojun formally worship Master Cai as his master. At that time, I will trouble Director Liu to be a witness."

When Liu Jianshe heard what Jia Dongming said, he immediately replied with a smile: "Director Jia! Don't worry, I will definitely be the witness."

Master Cai was very happy when he heard Jia Dongming say that he would prepare another dinner for Qin Xiaojun to formally worship him as his master, but he replied against his will: "Director Jia! Today's dinner can be regarded as a feast for worshipping the master. You don't have to wait any longer!"

"Master Cai! We are a country that respects teachers. Since Xiaojun wants to be your disciple, we must follow the traditions. After Xiaojun formally becomes your disciple, you should treat him as half a son and teach him a lesson." When Jia Dongming heard Master Cai's answer, he interrupted Master Cai and expressed his own opinion without waiting for him to finish speaking.

After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Liu Jianshe agreed, "Old Cai! Director Jia is right. According to tradition, the master-apprentice relationship is second only to the father-son relationship, so we should still abide by this tradition."

"The food is here!"

Just when Jia Dongming was happily chatting with Liu Jianshe and Cai Changzheng, Master Hong came into the private room with a dish. He then placed the four dishes on the table and said to Jia Dongming with a smile, "Director! You can eat these four dishes first. There is also a braised pork dish that will be ready soon."

Jia Dongming saw the four dishes that Master Hong had placed on the table, and smiled and thanked Master Hong, "Master Hong! Thank you! When you're done, come in and have a few drinks."

When Master Hong heard what Jia Dongming said, he immediately smiled and said to him, "Director! Please enjoy your meal first. I will come in and drink with you after the braised pork is cooked."

The meal didn't end until after eight o'clock. Since Qin Dajun had just completed the entry procedures and had not yet been arranged for a dormitory, he followed Jia Dongming back to the courtyard in the evening.

When Qin Huairu saw Jia Dongming and Qin Xiaojun coming back, she immediately went up to Jia Dongming and asked, "Brother Dongming! Have you discussed the apprenticeship with Master Cai?"

When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu asking about becoming a disciple, he immediately nodded and said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu! Don't worry about me. I have already made an appointment with Master Cai. On the night of the holiday, I will ask Master Cai and his wife to come to our house. I will prepare the ingredients and let Zhuzi cook. I will let Xiaojun formally become Master Cai's disciple."

Qin Huairu nodded immediately after learning of Jia Dongming's arrangement and replied, "Okay! Then I will ask someone to send a message to my father tomorrow and ask him to go to the city on his day off to hold a banquet for Xiaojun to become his apprentice."

After hearing Qin Huairu's answer, Jia Dongming thought about Qin Xiaojun's accommodation problem and asked Qin Huairu, "Huairu! How are you going to arrange Xiaojun's accommodation in the future?"

When Qin Huairu heard Jia Dongming asking about Qin Xiaojun's accommodation, she wanted to let Qin Xiaojun live at home. However, considering that the people who came to work in the city this time included Jia Dongming's cousins, in addition to her brother, Qin Huairu gave up the idea very tactfully and said to Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! I think we should let Xiaojun live in the factory dormitory. After all, there are more people working in the city this time."

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Jia Dongming nodded subconsciously and replied, "Okay! Then let Xiaojun live in the dormitory. After Xiaojun becomes a regular employee, I will find Li Huaide and assign a room for Xiaojun. By then, even if he wants to marry a woman from the city, he will have a chance."

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she heard Jia Dongming's promise, and she quickly thanked Jia Dongming: "Brother Dongming! Thank you!"
